About Peninsula HR Canada
Peninsula takes the risk and hassle out of HR and health & safety management – for over 6,500 Canadian business owners. When Peter Done launched Peninsula in 1983, it was the first of its kind… Before then, employers didn’t have access to round-the-clock HR support. Instead, they had to either take a risk or pay costly legal fees.

For 40 years since, Peninsula’s experts have guided employers through their toughest workplace challenges. And today, our services go beyond HR to cover health & safety management, legal assistance, smart software support, employee wellbeing, and so much more.
