  Meet the 2025 awards recipients

The Healthcare Employee Relations Awards of British Columbia (HEABCs)

Presented by the Health Employers Association of BC, the HEABCs recognize human resource and labour relations professionals who work with employers and health care professionals to create workplaces that support the delivery of high-quality health care. Originally launched in 2007 as the BC Health Care Awards, the program was re-launched in 2024 with a focus consistent with HEABC’s core mandate.

The Bee in the HEABCs

Honeybees are industrious and cooperative creatures known for working together in pursuit of a common goal, and, like the HR and LR professionals we are recognizing today, their work has impact well beyond their own hive.

Bees are important pollinators for flowers, fruits and vegetables, taking the pollen and nectar from plants back to their hives and storing it in the honeycomb. This work supports their own well-being and lifecycle, but it also plays an essential role in maintaining the health of ecosystems and supporting biodiversity. Through their work, HR and LR professionals support the creation of healthy workplace ecosystems that support the delivery of high-quality care.
