Description
As Ontario’s workplace regulations continue to shift, staying compliant requires more than just awareness—it requires a proactive strategy. This in-person Lunch & Learn provides a deep dive into the Working for Workers Five Act (Bill 190) and the critical HR and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) benchmarks for 2026.
We will move beyond the headlines to examine the practical implementation of new mandates, including AI disclosure in recruitment, enhanced facility standards, and salary transparency. The session is designed to help local employers identify hidden compliance gaps and adopt best practices that protect both their team and their bottom line.
Core Discussion Points:
- Legislative Roadmap: A clear breakdown of the "Working for Workers" updates and their impact on small-to-midsized businesses.
- Health & Safety Excellence: Strategies for maintaining OHS compliance and audit-readiness in the current regulatory climate.
- Interactive Q&A: A dedicated space to address specific operational challenges and share regional best practices.
Equip your leadership team with the insights needed to navigate 2026 with confidence and clarity.
