Emond Harnden Breakfast Seminar

Economic uncertainty continues to create significant challenges for employers. Evolving tariff policies and supply chain pressures, declining demand and organizational restructuring are forcing employers to make difficult operational decisions while managing legal risk.

Join Emond Harnden lawyers Raquel Chisholm and Veronica Blanco Sanchez for a practical discussion of the employment and labour law issues arising from today's economic environment.

This session will explore how employers can adapt to changing business conditions through workforce reductions, organizational restructuring and cost-containment measures, while remaining compliant with their legal obligations.

Topics covered during this discussion will include:

• Restructuring strategies and workforce adjustment considerations
• Employment contract provisions that can help manage risk during periods of change
• Constructive dismissal risks when implementing workplace changes
• Key Employment Standards Act, 2000 considerations, including temporary layoffs, terminations, and severance obligations
• High-risk terminations and associated human rights risks
• Navigating collective agreement obligations
• Practical guidance for employers seeking to balance operational needs with legal compliance

Designed for HR professionals, labour relations practitioners and senior leaders, this presentation will provide timely insights and practical tools to help employers navigate a rapidly evolving economic landscape.

This program has been pre-approved for 1.5 CPD hour under Section A of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Log of the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA). For more information about certification or continuing professional development, visit the HRPA website at: www.hrpa.ca
