It is with great pride that we announce that Nordia has been nominated as a finalist in two categories for the 8th Annual Canadian HR Awards, namely for Best Remote Work Strategy and Most Effective Recruitment Strategy. These two awards showcase the outstanding leadership and results Nordia has demonstrated over the past year.

Best Remote Work Strategy

This award highlights the incredible mobilization undertaken by Nordia at the beginning of the pandemic to shift 80% of its workforce, or nearly 3,000 front-line service representatives, towards working from home in just six weeks. This number quickly increased to 90% where it stands today. As a result, Nordia was able to protect its employees and their jobs, and provide essential services to its customers as well as all Canadians across the country.

Recruitment Strategy

With the wide range of career opportunities available at Nordia and the sheer amount of employees hired throughout the year, it's critical that our recruitment model evolves over time to be as optimal as possible. Our expertise as a leader in our industry, coupled with our new recruitment platform, has allowed us to attract and process a record amount of 75,000 applications for the year 2020! On average, candidates are contacted within 24 hours of applying, and the hiring process is completed in less than 3 days. In addition to increased automation and simplification, we are able to manage the recruitment process 100% virtually, in conjunction with our new business model.

Presented by HRD Canada and the Canadian HR Reporter magazine, the Canadian HR Awards is the leading independent awards event for the human resources profession in Canada. These awards recognize HR teams, individuals, and employers for outstanding achievements, leadership, programs, and initiatives in the HR field over the past 12 months.

The award winners will be announced in September, but we are already proud to be named a finalist. This is an honor and a distinction shared by few companies and a reflection of all the hard work and effort provided by the operational and support teams at Nordia. We want to thank the Nordia family for their passion and dedication to making us the best place to work.
