Course Overview
Many HR professionals and managers are expected to make people decisions that carry real legal, cultural, and business consequences.
Yet most people are either:
- unsure what the law actually requires
- relying on outdated assumptions
- afraid of making the wrong move
- or handling sensitive issues without a clear investigation process
This program is designed to close that gap.
The Canadian Employment Law & Workplace Investigations Certificate gives participants a practical understanding of employment law in the Canadian context while also building confidence in managing real workplace issues the right way.
This is not a theory-heavy legal class.
It is a clear, applied, case-based learning experience that helps you understand what matters, what to watch for, and what to do when difficult issues arise in the workplace.
In this course, you'll learn
- The key foundations of Canadian employment law
- How to recognize major legal and HR risk points in people management
- How to apply sound judgment in discipline, documentation, and termination decisions
- How to identify when a workplace issue requires a formal investigation
- The steps involved in conducting a fair and structured workplace investigation
- How to ask stronger questions and gather information more effectively
- How to document issues more clearly and appropriately
- How to respond to employee concerns with more confidence and less guesswork
- How to strengthen workplace fairness, consistency, and compliance
