SUMMARY:Why Modern Benefits Must Evolve With Women’s Lives - FREE Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Date(s): October 15\, 2026\nEvent Time: 2:00-3:00pm\nVenue: Online\nCPD Hours: 1.0\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n\nWomen don’t decline gradually with age — they decline in hormonal phases: puberty\, postpartum\, perimenopause\, and menopause. Left unmanaged\, these transitions drive absenteeism\, presenteeism\, and attrition\, creating a significant economic burden through lost productivity across Canada. This session breaks down the “compounding hormone debt” model: how early\, untreated hormonal dysfunction (PCOS\, PMDD\, perimenopause symptoms) quietly escalates into costly chronic disease and disability claims later in life. Using real case studies and outcomes data\, Dr. Kristy Prouse shows HR and benefits leaders how to design total rewards strategies that intervene early — protecting both employee wellbeing and the bottom line.\n \n\n\n\n\nPractice Level\n(Hover mouse over icon for details)\nCompetency\n\n\n   \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThank You to our Sponsor\, \n\n\n\n\n\nPresenter: Dr. Kristy Prouse – Chief Medical Advisor in Women’s Health\, Science & Humans ( Click for Speaker’s Bio)\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will learn: \n\nUnderstand the five hormonal life stages women move through and why each carries distinct health and productivity risks\nRecognize how untreated early symptoms (PCOS\, PMDD\, perimenopause) compound into costly chronic disease and disability claims over time\nQuantify the business case: the micro- and macro-economic impact of the women’s health gap on your workforce and the Canadian economy\nLearn what “good” looks like — real outcomes data on sleep\, productivity\, concentration\, and retention when hormone health is proactively supported\nWalk away with a framework for evaluating and designing benefits that address hormone health across a woman’s full career lifecycle\, not just at menopause\n\n\n\n\n\n \nWho should attend:\nHR\, benefits\, and total rewards professionals — particularly those responsible for group benefits design\, absence/disability management\, or DEI strategy — who want to understand the business case for hormone health coverage. Best suited to those with some benefits design experience who are evaluating plan changes\, renewals\, or how to close gaps in support for employees across menstrual\, fertility\, and menopause-related health needs.\n\n\n\n\nFormat: Live Online – Zoom Webinar\nAll login information will be sent to you via email the day prior to the session.

SUMMARY:Workplace Investigations - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Workplace Investigations\nWhile  we  are planning an in-person Workplace Investigations training in St. John’s in the spring\, we wanted to offer this virtual option for those who are spread out across the province.  \n\n\n\n\nProgram Overview\nWhen a workplace crisis hits and an investigation is required\, are you truly prepared to handle it? \nThis is a practical one-day program that equips HR professionals with the tools\, templates\, and techniques to conduct effective workplace investigations.  \nPaying high hourly legal fees heavily strains your company’s budget and often leaves you no further ahead.

Participants will learn how to screen and triage complaints\, plan their investigative scope to protect evidence\, conduct effective interviews\, weigh conflicting credibility using established Canadian standards\, and review the landmark court cases and arbitration decisions that define an employer’s legal duty to investigate. \n\n\n\n\nWhat’s Included:\n\nEvery participant receives a digital copy of the Investigator’s Toolkit\, which serves as an operational blueprint for future files. The entire package includes hands-on training exercises\, template notification letters to parties\, a complete sample investigation report\, and direct links to important Canadian case law. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitator\n\n \nDevan Corrigan\nDevan Corrigan has led investigations for organizations including Resolute Forest Products\, Canadian Pacific Railway\, Canada Post\, and Glencore Canada.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Navigating Workplace Accommodations: Practical Guidance for HR Professionals
DESCRIPTION:CPHR CPD: 1.5 Online Webinar\n\n  \n\n\nProgram Overview\n\n\nDescription\nWorkplace accommodation is one of the most complex challenges facing HR professionals today. HR teams are being asked to balance legal obligations\, operational realities\, and the growing expectations of external bodies such as workers compensation boards\, often with little clear guidance\, particularly around an employee’s duty to cooperate. \nAt the same time\, managers are increasingly navigating complex mental health-related accommodations. This interactive hybrid presentation moves beyond a high-level legal overview and will provide guidance on the analytical framework to address these complex issues. \nLed by Rick Dunlop\, an employment and labour lawyer at Stewart McKelvey\, the session will work through a series of real-life hypothetical scenarios drawn from situations HR professionals actually encounter. Each scenario will be discussed and worked through live with the audience\, giving attendees a practical framework for handling similar situations with confidence. \n\n\nLearning Outcomes\nReal-life hypothetical scenarios that will be discussed and worked through live during the session\, with opportunities for attendees to share perspectives and ask questions\, illustrating how these issues play out in practice and will provide you with guidance on establishing an analytical framework that will assist you in addressing the following: \n\nHow to make safe and legally sound accommodation decisions in real time\, even when the situation is not straightforward\nWhere the duty to accommodate ends\, and what “undue hardship” means in practice\nWhat the employee’s duty to cooperate actually requires\, and how to rely on it appropriately\nHow to communicate clearly with employees\, set expectations\, and document decisions along the way\nWhat you can (and should) push back on\, and how to do so without exposing the organization to risk\nHow to translate accommodation policy into practical steps that managers can apply on the ground\nHow to manage WCB-related expectations alongside other accommodation obligations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitator\n\n \nRick Dunlop \nRick Dunlop is a Partner at Stewart McKelvey\, one of Atlantic Canada’s leading law firms.
