During the Annual AQESSS Convention, Lavery was the sponsor of the 2013 AQESSS Award in Human Resources. Ms. Zeïneb Mellouli, a Labour and Employment Law associate at Lavery, handed out the $5,000 award to the prize-winner, the Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal (IUGM) for a project entitled Nos bons coups en valeurs. More than 100 people were present during the awards ceremony and more than 400 attended the annual congress.
The Prize in Human Resources is awarded to a AQESSS member that has put together a development project designed to include good human resources management practices into the work organization or the process of employee development, recruitment, recognition and retention.
