Air Canada’s Elevate leadership program strikes gold

Air Canada’s leadership development program, Elevate, has earned a Gold HCM Excellence Award from Brandon Hall Group in the Best Leadership Development Program category.

Created in response to employee feedback, Elevate was developed to establish a shared foundation for leadership across Air Canada and provide leaders with practical tools and experiences that support learning, application and reflection.

The program centres on three leadership commitments: inspiring people, enabling performance and finding solutions.

"This recognition reflects Air Canada's commitment to developing strong, consistent leadership across our organization," said Arielle Meloul-Wechsler, EVP, chief human resources officer and public affairs at Air Canada. "Elevate demonstrates our belief that great leadership is essential to fostering an engaged workforce, delivering strong performance, and creating an environment where people can do their best work. We are proud of everyone who contributed to making this program a success."

Since its launch, Elevate has provided Air Canada leaders with a common framework for applying new skills and supporting employees in their work.

The Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards recognize organizations that have developed and implemented programs, strategies and tools designed to deliver measurable business results through human capital management initiatives.
