Changes in the trading relationship between Canada and the United States can have consequences that extend well beyond the movement of goods. As organizations adjust to new financial and operational pressures, HR professionals may be called on to help make decisions that affect employees, workplace stability and longer-term workforce plans.

Mornelle Lee will join co-presenter Peninsula Canada’s Olivia Cicchini for this timely discussion on “Canada-U.S. Trade Disruption: What HR Professionals Need to Know About Employment Law.” The session will consider how shifts in trade and economic conditions can affect an organization’s workforce and the decisions HR professionals may be called upon to support. Using an employment law lens, Mornelle will discuss how employers can assess their options, anticipate potential legal and employee-relations implications, and approach difficult workforce decisions in a thoughtful and informed manner.
