SUMMARY:Webinar: Threat\, Burnout and the HR Brain - FREE for Members
DESCRIPTION: \n2026-05-05\n\n\nWhen:\nTuesday\, May 5th\n12:00PM\n\n\nWhere:\nCanada\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline registration is available until: 2026-05-03\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\nThreat\, Burnout and the HR Brain \n\n\n\nA neuroscience‑based look at why HR absorbs organizational threat and risk and how to reset boundaries that reduce burnout and increase accountability.  \n\n\n  \n\n\nProgram Overview\n\n\nDescription\nHR burnout is rarely about workload alone. It is the result of prolonged exposure to other people’s threat responses. When leaders feel uncertain\, uncomfortable\, or exposed\, their brains look for relief — and HR often becomes the safest place to offload risk\, conflict\, and responsibility. This session explains the neuroscience behind threat avoidance\, cognitive offloading\, and habit formation\, and why HR so often becomes the organization’s shock absorber. Participants learn to recognize when HR is absorbing risk rather than managing it\, and why this pattern increases organizational risk over time. \n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\nUnderstand why threat and discomfort drive leaders to offload risk onto HR\nRecognize the neurological and behavioral patterns that turn HR into the default problem-holder\nApply boundary and redirection strategies that shift accountability without damaging trust\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nAbout the Facilitator\n\n  \nJESS CHAPMAN\, FOUNDER AND CEO \nJess Chapman is a people and performance expert with over 20 years’ experience across the UK\, Europe\, and Canada\, helping leaders tackle the toughest people challenges at work. With a background in HR\, leadership\, organizational effectiveness\, and change\, she blends strategic insight with applied neuroscience to drive real\, lasting change.\nJess is PROSCI-certified in change management\, a certified Neuroplastician\, and founder of ethree Consulting and NeuroWorks\, where she translates brain science into practical tools for the workplace. A sought-after advisor and speaker\, Jess is also host of the podcast Wired To Work and a recipient of the NLOWE 2022 Mentoring Award. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nPricing\n\nMembers  FREE\nNon-Members  $55\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\nPlease email events@cphrns.ca to register directly with them! \n\n  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n

SUMMARY:CPHR-NL Webinar: The Strategic Hire You’re Overlooking: How One Student Can Change Your Team
DESCRIPTION:Session Topic\nIn a rapidly shifting labour market\, organizations are searching for innovative strategies to remain competitive\, agile\, and future‑focused. One of the most effective yet underutilized approaches is the intentional hiring of students through internships\, co‑ops\, and other work‑integrated learning (WIL) experiences. Students bring immediate value: fresh perspectives\, digital fluency\, adaptability\, and contemporary training aligned with emerging industry needs. When organizations create meaningful roles for student talent\, they not only address short‑term capacity challenges but also build long‑term talent pipelines that strengthen retention and workforce readiness. \nThis session explores the strategic advantages of hiring students and how HR leaders can leverage these roles to support organizational goals. Participants will gain insight into labour market trends driving the increased demand for early‑career talent and learn practical ways to integrate students into their teams to enhance innovation\, productivity\, and diversity. The session offers actionable tools for designing high‑impact student positions\, effective onboarding and supervision practices\, and fostering partnerships with post‑secondary institutions. \nDrawing on real‑world examples and evidence‑based best practices\, this presentation demonstrates how student hiring is not simply a recruitment tactic—it is a proactive workforce development strategy. Attendees will leave with clear\, practical frameworks to maximize the value of student talent and strengthen their organization’s competitiveness in a rapidly evolving world of work. \nWho Should Attend?\n \nThis session is ideal for HR leaders\, hiring managers\, team supervisors\, and organizational decision‑makers who are looking to strengthen their talent pipelines and enhance workforce agility. \nIt’s especially valuable for those responsible for recruitment\, workforce planning\, DEI initiatives\, or early‑career talent development. are curious about integrating students into meaningful roles—or who want to elevate the impact of their existing internship\, co‑op\, or WIL programs—will gain practical tools\, strategic insights\, and evidence‑based approaches to maximize the value of student talent within their teams.  \nAbout Lauren St. Croix\nLauren is the the Director of Work Integrated Learning Connections at College of the North Atlantic. She holds a Master of Education in Post-Secondary Studies and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Memorial University\, along with training in instructional design and selection board criteria with GNL. \nHer career spans post-secondary education\, healthcare\, and government\, where she’s developed strong expertise in student development\, training design and delivery\, and professional development initiatives. She has extensive experience leading work-integrated learning programs\, managing co-op and placement activities\, and building meaningful partnerships with internal and external stakeholders. \nShe is passionate about advancing experiential learning opportunities that support student success and workforce readiness\, and values a collaborative\, strategic approach to creating impactful learning experiences. \nPrice:\nCPHR Members : FREE\nNon-Members: $25

SUMMARY:FREE Webinar: Beyond Culture-Speak: Leveraging Psychological Safety for Operational Excellence
DESCRIPTION: \nDo your operational leaders hear “psychological safety” and assume it means a soft\, conflict-free workplace? While HR knows it drives performance\, a language gap often exists.\nTrue psychological safety allows teams to:\n• Take risks without fear of backlash\n• Own mistakes and learn fast\n• Challenge ideas and speak openly\n \nJoin us to learn examples and language that move operational leaders past the “political correctness” stigma to seeing it as a key factor in business success.\nEquip your leaders with the tools to create safe environments and watch your people and business thrive as a result.\n \n\n\n\n\nCPD hours\n\nPractice Level\n(Hover mouse over icon for details)\n\n\nCompetency\n\n\n\n1.0\n   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThank You to our Sponsor\,  \n\n \n\n\n\n\nPresenter: Gil Davidson – Executive Coach & Team Specialist\, Advantage Management Consulting (Click for Speaker’s Bio)\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will learn: \n\nPosition Psychological Safety as a Performance Lever: Gain the ability to reframe safety in operational terms\, allowing you to secure operational and executive buy-in and move it from a “soft” initiative to a business-critical priority.\nLink Clarity of Purpose to Interpersonal Risk: Learn how to align a safe environment with value-driven goals\, ensuring teams have the courage to take the necessary risks to achieve high-level business targets.\nDifferentiate Between the Three Types of Failure: Acquire the framework to “detoxify” mistakes by distinguishing “intelligent failure” from preventable error\, which reduces the hidden organisational costs of fear and silence.\nApply Strategic “Languaging” and Framing: Leave with practical communication tools to pivot operational leaders away from the “political correctness” stigma and towards a focus on organisational excellence.\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend:\nSenior HR leaders\, people strategists and decision makers responsible for culture needing to influence pragmatic\, “no-nonsense” operational executives. This audience seeks to move beyond traditional culture-speak to secure executive and operational buy-in\, aiming to bridge the gap between human-centric values and bottom-line business values – connecting the dots between them and how they influence performance\, innovation\, and risk management.\n\n\nFormat: Live Online – Zoom Webinar\nAll login information will be sent to you via email the day prior to the session. Please check your junk/spam folder if it has not come through to your in-box.Note: If you have not received your login access information the day prior to the webinar date\, please email pd@cphrbc.ca or sign-in your CPHR BC & Yukon Portal (under “My Events”) for the webinar instructions.\n\n\nTime:  2:00-3:00pm (NL time) \nBoth registration and payment are required for every person attending this webinar.
