Conference / Seminar

Hicks Morley is delighted to present our 2024 School Board Management Conference for human resources professionals, directors of education, supervisory officers and trustees.

We invite you to join us for breakfast and a “whirlwind tour” of recent developments in labour, employment and education law. After a brief networking break, you’ll attend a plenary session on the right to privacy and freedom of expression in schools followed by a dynamic session by our guest speaker. After lunch, you’ll participate in two workshops of your choice (which you’ll preselect during registration) and have another opportunity to network.

Workshop

Arbitration Workshop

April 18, 2023

This hands-on workshop, presented through two distinct modules, has been designed to equip both new and more experienced members of your labour relations team with the skills necessary to prepare a case for grievance arbitration.

Workshop

Employee absenteeism is one of the most challenging issues an employer faces and it can impact productivity and morale in the workplace. In addressing absenteeism issues, employers must be aware of the interplay between their legitimate expectation that employees attend work regularly and the many valid reasons for absences, including statutory leaves and an employee’s human rights. Building on our Attendance Management Training Workshop 101, this program will examine specific issues relating to absenteeism and best practices in dealing with them.

Speaking Engagement

OPSBA’s Education Labour Relations and Human Resources Symposium is held each spring and is designed to provide professional development in the areas of labour relations and human resources to trustees, directors of education, senior human resources officials and labour relations practitioners.
