Human Resource Booklet
"Creating Opportunities: Using Human Resource Practices to Build Your Business and Your Community"
(2000)
| The OP2000 Human Resource Booklet "Creating Opportunities: Using Human Resource Practices to Build Your Business and Your Community"
arose from the need to provide practical examples to the business community
about how to make a contribution to poverty reduction in Waterloo Region. And
the most practical way to do that is through human resources policies and
practices. The booklet is a compilation of examples of businesses from across
the region with sound human resource practices that have a positive impact on
poverty and create opportunities. |
"Opening up avenues of opportunity for people and business are what best practices are all about. Human Resources is a dynamic and active part of a successful business strategy and it is important to understand the impact HR practices have on the success of people in the workplace."
– OP2000 Human Resource Booklet

Through an examination of Human Resource Practices found in different businesses within Waterloo Region, "Creating Opportunities: Using Human Resource Practices to Build Your Business and Your Community" highlights the versatile and dynamic role HR plays in opening doors of opportunity for the people of Waterloo Region.
