Here’s the webinar description from UWGT:
In less than a month the fundamental nature of work as we know it has changed. NFP employers are struggling with the implications of what seem like daily changes in legislation. At the same time, they must also address how to support and supervise off-site staff dealing with new technology and onsite staff directly in contact with vulnerable people. For their part, many employees are suffering from isolation and fears of employment precarity.

This webinar will provide updates on and the implications of current employment legislation as well as sharing good organizational practices to support employees in the present situation. In particular, the session will focus on:
• Responsibilities and liabilities of NFP employers at this time
• Understanding organizational implications of current employment legislation such as the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy and changes to employment standards
• Sharing approaches to managing HR operations, including new organizational policies which may be needed
• Fostering the health and wellbeing of employees
