Workplace Human Rights and the Cost of Getting It Wrong: How Employers Can Stay Proactive and Protected
REGISTER HERE
Human rights claims before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario continue to rise in complexity and cost. Recent case law highlights a clear trend: the HRTO is increasingly willing to award higher general damages for discrimination and harassment, raising the financial and reputational risks for employers.
This session will provide participants with practical insights into how to mitigate exposure under the Ontario Human Rights Code. We will review the latest HRTO decisions that illustrate the shift toward more significant damage awards, outline common pitfalls that lead to liability, highlight recent procedural changes at the HRTO, and provide proactive strategies employers can use to stay protected.
Don’t miss this discussion of the new procedural rules – including mandatory mediation – at the HRTO, the key factors that drive higher damages awards before the HRTO, and practical steps for responding to and resolving human rights complaints efficiently.
We hope you can join us for this informative session.
