SpringLaw EP 71: Workplace Harassment, Investigations & Prosecutions

Workplace harassment issues can escalate quickly if they are not handled properly from the start. This webinar walks employers through how to recognize harassment concerns, run fair and defensible investigations, and understand when issues may lead to regulatory action or prosecution.

Why you can’t miss this:
• Workplace harassment law now includes emails, chats, video calls, and social media
• You may be required to investigate even if no one makes a formal complaint
• New enforcement tools mean faster fines and greater risk for employers and leaders

Return-to-office mandates are not just operational decisions anymore.

For many employees, remote work has become part of their employment terms. Changing that without careful planning can lead to constructive dismissal claims.

Before enforcing RTO policies, employers should review contracts, timing, and communication strategy.

Our latest blog explains what to watch for.

Return-to-Office Mandates and Constructive Dismissal: What Employers Need to Know | SpringLaw Return-to-office mandates are creating new legal risks for employers. When does remote work become a protected term of employment, and how can RTO policies trigger constructive dismissal claims? Here’s what employers need to know before making the shift.

The workplace isn’t what it used to be, and neither are the risks.

Remote work, digital tools, and AI are reshaping how work happens (and how issues show up). The question for employers: Are your practices keeping up?

Lisa Stam joins Osgoode PD to break down what the modern digital workplace means from a legal perspective, and how to navigate it without increasing risk.

✔️ Employee monitoring
✔️ Online conduct
✔️ Remote work obligations
✔️ AI in the workplace

If your organization is adapting to new ways of working, this session will give you practical clarity on what to do next.
