About this event
As we head into a new paradigm of hybrid and remote work, we recognize work environments have changed. Join Gowling WLG’s Cristina Borbely and Shefali Rajaputra as they walk through what this shift means for you, your employees, and your business, highlighting the risks you need to be aware of.
This discussion will broadly cover occupational health and safety for remote employees, ongoing and evolving cyber security risks for employers when employees work remotely, meeting obligations under Employment Standards and an introduction on privacy breach risks.
