Human resources management support

Managing people effectively becomes more complex as a business grows, especially in a tight labour market like Quebec’s. For organizations that want to strengthen their human resources practices but lack in-house expertise, the Human Resources Management Support program offers practical, hands-on assistance. Delivered by the Gouvernement du Québec through the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale, this initiative focuses on helping businesses and nonprofits better understand and improve how they manage their workforce.

Rather than funding equipment or expansion, this program connects organizations with experienced advisors and external consultants who can assess current HR practices and identify priorities for improvement. Support can include a structured review of existing policies, one-on-one coaching, and tailored consultation on areas such as workforce planning, recruitment, performance management, diversity, or adapting to organizational change. Growing businesses can also receive guidance to set up a dedicated human resources function as their employee count increases. Financial assistance helps offset the cost of these expert services, making professional HR support more accessible.

This opportunity is particularly relevant for Quebec-based SMEs, nonprofits, and larger organizations facing growth, restructuring, or retention challenges. Applications are generally ongoing, and support is adapted to each project’s scope. Business owners interested in building stronger HR foundations may want to explore the full details to see how this program could support their next stage of development.
