Grouse Mountain Resorts Ltd. located in North Vancouver is this year’s recipient of the ‘Employees First’ award presented by go2 - the BC tourism industry’s human resources association.
The ‘Employees First’ Award is presented each year to a BC tourism employer to recognize exceptional standards of excellence in human resources and people management. The award was presented in February at the tenth annual BC Tourism Awards gala, held in Vancouver as part of the provincial tourism industry conference.
All nominees for the ‘Employees First’ Award had to submit an information package that demonstrated how their company has implemented effective HR/people management practices within their organization. Additionally, nominees had to show how these HR practices have positively impacted employee development, loyalty, morale, and their organization’s bottom line. For selection, a panel designated by Tourism British Columbia judged the nominees against the criteria.
