On the Heels of the Canadian Launch, Two HR and HCM Subject Matter Experts Named to BAN Canada

TORONTO, CANADA, May 12, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Benefit Advisors Network (BAN), the premiere international network of independent employee benefit firms, has named two veteran subject matter experts to serve as Human Capital Management (HCM) and Human Resource (HR) experts for BAN Canada.

HRPrimed CEO and Chief HR Consultant, Darcy Michaud, will serve as Human Capital Management Director for BAN Canada, working with agencies and their clients when they require Canadian HR expertise. Michaud will also provide his to expertise via blogs, newsletter content, and conference and webinar presentations.

With 25 years of experience and a Certified Human Resources Leader (CHRL), Michaud spent the majority of his career as a senior administrator in the public sector, also serving on multiple municipal and provincial boards before moving to the private sector 10 years ago. He served as the Senior Advisor and Consultant for one of the largest HR consulting firms in Canada, before launching HRprimed in 2016.

BAN’s current Director of Human Capital Management Services, Bobbi Kloss, will expand her role, serving as an additional HCM and HR expert on the U.S. side. With more than 20 years of Human Resource Generalist and executive-level Human Capital Management experience, Bobbi oversees all HR-related functions for BAN internal practices and has a deep understanding of the increasingly complex and diverse HR industry. Bobbi also provides her expertise to BAN’s employee benefit brokerage members as well as their employer clients, initiating proactive, strategic compliance practices which help limit their exposure to potential liabilities. She is a nationally-recognized expert, regularly quoted and used as a resource for a variety of publications, including SHRM, HR Executive, BenefitsPro, and NAHU.

“We are excited to welcome Darcy as our Canadian HR expert and thrilled Bobbi will be increasing her existing role with BAN to now provide additional HCM resources to the Canadian market,” says Perry Braun, Executive Director, Benefit Advisors Network. “Darcy and Bobbi represent the “best of the best” HCM and HR experts in the U.S. and Canadian markets and we are pleased we are able to offer their skills and expertise to our members and their employer clients.”

“We recognize the HR and benefits industries have become extremely complex with many components,” continues Braun. “This is why we continually strive to provide key experts, like Darcy and Bobbi, who possess the skills, training, and intuition to help business not just “get by,” but thrive long-term.”
