The Dentsu Aegis Network Award for Best HR Communication Strategy
The TalentEgg Award for Best Employer Branding
The Leadership Agency Award for HR Leader of the Year recognizing Sanita Alias, director of human resources for CIRA
Today’s announcement marks the second consecutive year that CIRA has been selected as a finalist for these prestigious awards.

Executive quote
“I am pleased to see that CIRA has once again been recognized for our commitment to our people. Culture at CIRA is much more than an HR initiative; it is something all employees own. From the outside, it would be easy to think that our only focus is building world-class technology – but at its heart, CIRA is a people-first organization dedicated to building a trusted internet for Canadians. On a personal note, I feel very honoured to have my name included alongside so many other talented and amazing HR Leader of the Year candidates. I wish them and all the other nominees the best of luck ahead of the September announcement.”
– Sanita Alias, director of human resources, CIRA
Winners will be announced on September 16 and are selected by an independent judging panel comprised of Canadian human resources experts and thought leaders.
