Pacific Coast University for Workplace Health Sciences (PCU-WHS) announced the signing of an Agreement with the Chartered Professionals in Human Resources Nova Scotia (CPHR Nova Scotia).

CPHR Nova Scotia is committed to the promotion of sound principles and best practices in the human resources profession and to workplace excellence. It is with this in mind that CPHR Nova Scotia signed the Agreement which provides their members with a preferred pricing registration rate to any or all of the 25 topic areas covered in the Disability Management Practitioner Program - all of which are relevant to the HR profession and fit with the CPHR competency framework, especially those whose responsibilities include return to work.

With the significant restructuring of many aspects of our economy, HR professionals must respond to ever changing circumstances by driving an innovation, collaboration and thought leadership agenda. But few, if any challenges facing the HR professional are, most often, as complex and difficult as those brought about by an individual being confronted with the onset of a significant mental of physical health impairment which not only affects the individual's personal health but often also has far-reaching financial, family and career impacts.

The HR professional's knowledgeable and committed front line engagement can often mean the difference between a successful outcome for all parties, or the potential for lasting conflict between the parties, and many times unemployment, poverty or worse for the individual affected. Experience from across Canada and around the world has clearly demonstrated that the level of knowledge, skills and competence on the part of the HR professional can have a significant impact on the successful resolution of such challenging circumstances.
