Recognized as one of Canadian HR Reporter’s Leading HR Teams of 2026, Info-Tech Research Group has advanced HR digital transformation by modernizing core processes through AI, automation, and data-driven systems, improving efficiency, governance, and employee experience at scale.
TORONTO, May 7, 2026 /CNW/ – Info-Tech Research Group has earned recognition as one of Canadian HR Reporter’s Leading HR Teams of 2026, underscoring the global research and advisory firm’s continued investment in modernizing HR at scale through bold, forward-thinking people strategies. The honour highlights the work of Info-Tech’s 28-person HR team in driving digital transformation for the firm’s global workforce.
Over the past year, Info-Tech’s HR team has modernized operations across Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, and core HR services, replacing manual processes with integrated tools and automation. The result has been stronger governance, greater efficiency, and more capacity for strategic work that improves both employee experience and business performance.
A key driver behind the recognition was the rollout of a centralized merit management tool that modernized performance and compensation processes while improving visibility and reducing administrative effort. The internal initiative for the firm’s internationally dispersed workforce was supported by AI-enabled recruiting tools and broader HR automation, including the streamlining of more than 2,200 employee requests, freeing capacity for more strategic work for the team.
These efforts reflect a broader evolution of people support at Info-Tech as the company continues to grow across North America, the UK, Australia, and APAC. By embedding HR early in business decision-making and investing in systems that reduce friction and improve consistency, the team is helping the organization scale more effectively. This approach aligns with insights from McLean & Company, Info-Tech’s HR research and advisory division, which emphasize that HR creates the most value when it simplifies how work gets done and enables better decision-making across the business.
“This recognition is a reflection of the work our team has put in to make HR simpler and more effective,” says Shawn Gibson, Chief Human Resources Officer at Info-Tech Research Group. “By cutting down manual work and improving how we use data, we’ve created more space to focus on our people and the decisions that actually move the business forward.”
Canadian HR Reporter’s recognition of Info-Tech for 2026 further strengthens the firm’s position as an employer of choice, building on consecutive recognition as one of HRD Canada’s Most Innovative HR Teams in 2025 and 2026, along with its recent naming to Forbes’ list of Canada’s Best Employers.
