Great HR reference tools and rep who understands my needs
Citation Canada (formerly HRDownloads) is a great reference tool for a wide range of HR situations across all Canadian Provinces, and the information is organized well. It also offers great training/info-briefing videos (in French and English) to meet annual employee compliance-training needs.
The included (no extra fees) on-demand advice from their panel of HR experts and lawyers has been hugely useful to me over the last few years.
As the product develops, I always get relevant advice and information from the rep, who shows an understanding of my HR needs, can answer all my questions credibly and is honest and realistic about the scope of the services offered.

I was already familiar with HR Downloads from my last employment and was eager to bring it on board here. Mike was so very helpful and supportive in getting us up and running.

My account manager is empathic, patient, knowledgeable and so super kind. I truly enjoy working & speaking with her.
My account manager, Karen, truly understands the importance of the client / vendor relationship. When discussing the pros and cons of renewing the contract, Karen was instrumental in helping me choose the right products our organization would need AND use. Her knowledge of the service provided and accompanying products is outstanding, and if a question is unanswered at the time of our calls, she returns with the answer before the day is out, and includes back up documentation. She makes our calls not only informative & useful, she also makes them fun! I hang up with a smile on my face.

I nominate Karen Dubois as HR Downloads Employee of the Year
We met with Karen Dubois today and experienced our best annual review in almost 15 years. Karen knows everything about the HR Downloads suite of products. She understood that we work out of multiple platforms and explained how we could best utilize products within our current HR Downloads program to improve our efficiency.

Not impressed
Although I had a great review of the website and new features with our account manager, I was not impressed with the call I received from the accounting department as soon the invoice was issued. Having been a customer for numerous year, I did not appreciate the request for payment that day as we always pay by cheque well within 30 days. This call was very close to making me cancel our relationship with HRDownloads.

Understanding your Customer
Karen Dubois has a good understanding of how we use HR Downloads and that we have limits to what an annual increase should look like. We like the ease of the software and use it for training and policy creation. We have now expanded it to another company in our group.

My relationship with HR Downloads is 5 stars
My relationship with HR Downloads is such that I feel that you are part of the HR team here.
I cannot do my job without you and by you I mean Kim Morris. She gives me excellent advice and never fails to get back to me.
I recommend whenever you come up in a conversation.
