About the Citation Group

In 2023, HRdownloads was acquired by the Citation Group – the first step towards the creation of Citation Canada. Established in 1995, the Citation Group employs 2,000 team members and supports 100,000 businesses with best-in-class compliance and quality solutions across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Now officially part of the Citation Group, we will bring our clients the perfect blend of international expertise and unmatched Canadian HR and Health & Safety experience. It’s the best of both worlds, brought to thousands of companies by Citation Canada.

Our Group Values

Our values. What we stand for and what matters in how we treat each other, our clients and the work we do.

    Make it happen

    Empowerment and accountability are key to engagement and success. We play to each other’s strengths and act as one. We step up, make things happen, and get stuff done with pride and energy. We are focused and determined. We leap over barriers and find a way.

  • Shooting star icon

    Never Settle

    We love change – it’s the norm. In fact, we’d be bored without it. We show up every day and strive for better. We are leaders not followers. We are failing our clients and each other if we don’t think one step ahead, then three steps ahead of that.

    Choose right

    We’ll never knowingly do wrong. Our heads and hearts are in the right place. We use our judgement, professional, and moral compass 24/7. We share and collaborate, we enable others. We go about our day with integrity, respect, expertise and a little class. We do this without even thinking about it – it’s in our DNA!

    Smart with Heart

    We bring our best selves to work and be the people we want to work with. We understand that we don’t need to have all the answers, we may just need to listen and show empathy. We don’t presume or judge – we first seek to understand. We support others to enable them to be at their best and show that we care.
