Working with our membership, ITAC establishes and sets targets for where Canada's knowledge economy should be compared to key peer/competitor nations. Where we fall short, ITAC determines what we need to do to get there and ensure we do what is needed in areas such as: skills, capital, tax, science & technology, and collaboration.
ITAC believes Canadian businesses should be leaders in the use of ICT for competitive advantage, productivity and growth. Use of ICT by small and medium enterprises should increase towards that of our US counterparts. By partnering with other associations, as well as with Government, we work to ensure public policy supports these goals.
ITAC strives to ensure Federal, Ontario and other Canadian Governments are leaders in ICT use. ITAC positions itself as a trusted advisor to Government. We gather industry leaders and Government together and work to make it easier for our industry to sell to government.
ITAC believes the Canadian healthcare system should be a world-leading user of ICT to achieve superior patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness, as well as fostering development of a world-leading Canadian health ICT industry. ITAC works to correct chronic under-spend on ICT.
ITAC’s view is Canada’s laws should promote leadership in development and use of advanced technology. We want to ensure efficient and cost-effective measures to protect privacy and instill confidence in the e-economy.
ITAC believes that in order for Canada to continue to compete worldwide, we need to promote policies that will ensure a steady supply of talented men and women for our local ICT industry. We work with industry as well as with Federal, Provincial and local governments to establish initiatives to support this goal.

Mandate
The Human Resources Forum allows for the sharing and discussion of views, information and best practices in a confidential and open group environment. It acts as a resource to members of ITAC on various HR issues. It is also a forum for being heard as a group and encourages the ethical and consistent application of HR practices across ITAC member organizations. The forum supports the compensation survey process through strategic level recommendations, timely feedback and actively supports appropriate company resources to ensure world-class results. It is not a venue to promote one's goods or services.
Highlights
The Human Resources Forum is an excellent professional development opportunity for HR professionals in the IT industry. We discuss best practices in these areas and much more. The 2012 agenda will address many topics and themes including:
- Employment Law Update
- Compensation & Benefits Trends Update (what’s new, different and / or challenging in the IT industry)
- Employee Engagement (wellness, mental disabilities in the workplace, etc..) - Innovation (immigration, new ideas, etc…) - Branding (employee value proposition)
- Social Media (Legal discussion, millennial recruitment and retention, policing and policy, the employee experience)
- Onboarding (in a virtual environment) – HR Toolbox / Best Practices Panel – Vendors (websites, sourcing, research, networks, memberships, tools, etc…)
- Planning Session for 2013
A roundtable discussion is held during lunch at the end of each meeting to provide an opportunity to raise issues and seek answers to queries in an informal and confidential environment.
