After nearly 30 years of answering #HR questions from colleagues and clients, Darcy Michaud has heard almost everything. Unsurprisingly, not everything he hears is an actual 'HR thing.' In some cases, senior HR professionals have been utilizing a practice or process that was not what it was intended for at all. In either case, it is typically only when you get to a courtroom, tribunal, or arbitration before you realize that what you thought was true was not all. Join us for an enlightening discussion at this BAN Canada webinar on September 11th! Be sure to bring your own HR terms or processes that may have given you pause. All of your questions will be answered in our live Q&A! Register at https://lnkd.in/gTVa8cE4 HR Covered Inc. #HRCI #SHRM
