HRANB Membership Survey Results

Last December, members were asked to rate the services received by HRANB. We had over 150 respondents to the survey!

The results were very positive and each chapter has received a copy of the survey results. Here is a summary of the findings:

• 90 % were satisfied with the overall services available as an HRANB member
• 93 % were satisfied with our web site content
• 96 % were satisfied with our ability to deliver bilingual services
• 86 % were satisfied with the quality of professional development activities
• 90 % were satisfied with the quality of activities organized by the local chapter
• 76 % were satisfied with the new member kits – many indicated they were not aware each new member now receives a new member kit
• 95 % were satisfied with the bi-annual newsletter
• 93 % were satisfied with e-mail notices
• 95 % were satisfied with the annual membership rate of $100 per year
• 97 % were satisfied with the membership directory
• 98 % were satisfied with our ability to respond to inquiries in a timely fashion

While most members do know who the executive members of their local chapter are, most did not know who the executives of the provincial committee were. The provincial committee is comprised of chapter presidents plus additional members from the chapters. For further details visit our website at this link: http://www.hranb.org/hranb-chapters.htm or consult your printed membership directory.

There were many suggestions for improvements and you will see many of these implemented shortly. We are currently working on the following items in the next year to better serve our members:

• Our first ever provincial conference in October in Moncton
• Offering more professional development days (a full day of training) each year
• An Atlantic HR Magazine for our members
• Website improvements making navigation easier
• More options to help prepare for CHRP exams (classroom training and on-line courses)
• The development of a new survey for our members on the top 10 HR concerns – linked with developmental activities to adress these concerns
• Activities for senior HR leaders

We look forward to continue serving our members and welcome any suggestions for improvement at any time.
