More than ever before, HR professionals need a solid understanding of the many laws governing the employment relationship, and the legal risks that can arise in the workplace. Failure to follow the rules and manage risk can result in fines and civil and criminal liability for an organization, its directors and officers, managers, supervisors and others, not to mention a poor reputation as an employer.

Osgoode Professional Development’s Certificate in HR Law for HR Professionals was specifically developed for human resource professionals, and is recertification-approved by the HRPA. In five valuable one-day modules, an experienced, multi-disciplinary faculty will provide you with cogent, practical advice and strategies on how to avoid costly mis-steps. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions, discussions and debates. The focus is on practical learning that you can put to work immediately.
