HR Development Program for Small Arts Organizations

Creative Manitoba is looking for 10 small-sized arts organizations to participate in a pilot Human Resource Development Program. The program includes support from an HR professional, an organizational self-assessment process, and HR coaching at no cost to the organization.

Do you work in a small-sized arts organization that needs human resource management help? Do you have current HR policies and procedures? Do your job descriptions connect with your strategic goals? How about remote work policies, staff social media guidelines, company equipment use policy, workplace safety and health, or equity and accessibility policies? If you said no or maybe to any of those points, maybe you should check out Creative Manitoba’s new Human Resources Development Program.

The HR Development Program is designed for small-sized arts organizations with 5 to 10 staff members who need assistance with their HR management. The program features direct support from an experienced HR professional who will work with the organization to assess the current state of their HR practices. After the assessment process, support will be provided to improve, add, and implement necessary HR elements that will go a long way to creating a more stable, equitable, and secure workplace that is compliant with the Employment Standards Code Manitoba.

Creative Manitoba is currently seeking 10 organizations to participate in a pilot program running from October 2023 to March 2024. Please complete the application form and return to training@creativemanitoba.ca to indicate your interest and outline what you see as your current HR challenges.
