Your Workplace provides a superb blend of best practice articles and resources in an engaging and readable format. It helps me feel connected to others who share my passion for this work. And best of all, it’s Canadian!”

 


Joan Parks-Hubley, Nova Scotia Public Service Commission, Coordinator, Healthy Workplace Programs

“A powerful conference that will impact my workplace health, and most significantly, my personal well-being. Thank you. I am speechless and more moved than I thought possible.”

 


LeeAnne Kennedy, CEO, Steps Count

“Your Workplace magazine is a remarkable product that I use often as a professional development tool.
It is a magazine that I look forward to receiving, and it is one where I personally read articles that are pertinent and of interest to me. I elect to spend time reading Your Workplace over other professional magazines/articles.

This magazine is loaded with high-end articles and information that I can apply and implement as the leader of a large, non-profit organization. I purchase a bulk subscription as my staff use it as an instructional resource for many of our adult learners and clients. Also, I am very pleased that my staff enjoy reading it too, and that they feel enriched by the professional content – and the selective advertising.”

Laurie Preston, General Manager
Limestone Community Education

“The Association of Administrative Assistants is a chartered, nonprofit Canadian organization founded in 1951. The Association is pro-active in encouraging its members to further their education and enhance their career opportunities.

 

As an Association, we provide a gift to each of our members annually. We renewed our bulk subscription of Your Workplace magazine yet again as it is extremely well received by our membership. They consider the magazine as a “value-add”, and it helps us retain, and attract new members. We feel that this magazine provides our members with further positive information for themselves and their workplace, and it is total Canadian.

On a personal note, I find the magazine very informative and current! In fact, I bring it to the office and several colleagues have also commented on the value Your Workplace.”

Belinda Marcellus, National Director, Vice-President

“As the Relationship Manager for National Quality Institute (NQI), I am always pleased to advise my new Member Contacts about one of their basic membership benefits – an annual subscription to Your Workplace magazine, which we purchase on their behalf when they join NQI. I include a sample issue in their welcome package advising when their subscription will begin.

 

I know that our money is well-spent because my members tell me how much they enjoy reading the magazine and often inquire about purchasing additional subscriptions for other staff. The Your Workplace MemberMail email news is a wonderful supplement that I encourage my Members to subscribe to.

This keeps us in the loop about when the new magazine issues will be arriving, as well as news about industry events.

The “subscription partner” support I receive from the staff at Your Workplace is fantastic and makes the process of providing this benefit to my members very enjoyable and efficient.”

“Workplace wellness and striving to provide better work/life fit is an ongoing dialogue within the City of Kingston. As a member of the executive management team, I am continuously seeking new information and opportunities to engage managers and employees in this dialogue in a meaningful way.

 

Your Workplace magazine has been, and continues to be, an invaluable and relevant resource in this quest, providing timely and topical information and insights into the issues and challenges facing our managers and employees day in and day out. It promotes awareness and understanding, and offers helpful hints and inspiration on key issues, such as:

  • • Why a healthy workplace is critical to business success
  • Creating work/life balance
  • Healthy organizational change
  • Creating a culture of inclusion encourages & supports success. Developing high performing teams
  • Managing effectively 

The annual Your Workplace conference is wildly popular with staff and has demonstrated its value as forum to exchange ideas, strategies and techniques for attaining healthier workplaces. This of course contributes to happier, healthier employees, which in turn leads to enhanced performance.

The City of Kingston has been a subscriber to Your Workplace since it inception and is a proud sponsor of the Your Workplace annual conference. For us, this is a meaningful investment in the wellbeing of our employees, the health of our workplaces and ultimately the services and programs we deliver to our community.”
