HR mistakes can affect your business and your bottom line. Companies can face enormous costs from litigation for failing to comply with federal or provincial employment laws, human rights, or labour regulations.

But to err is human (resources). Everyone makes mistakes, but many HR mistakes are often not as the result of carelessness, but of relying on myths or company traditions. However, these mistakes can have ripple effects throughout the entire company — affecting company culture, morale, and/or legal liability. That’s why it’s important to be proactive when it comes to human resources, finding and fixing problems before they cost you time, energy, and money.

The processes within HR are often complex because your HR team must comply with rapidly changing regulatory conditions, business demands and labour shortages. As a result, mistakes may be made.

In this two-hour webinar we look at the most common myths and mistakes made by HR practitioners so they can be avoided in the future by implementing realistic approaches to your daily practices.

Common mistakes include:
– Changing the essential terms of an employee’s job
– Failure to provide accommodations when required
– Unintended biases in hiring
– The myth of one week severance for every year of service
– Hiring contractors as employees
– Failure to have compulsory policies in place
– Employment Standards vs. Common Law
…and many, many more.
