Labour and Employment Law: Anticipate Change, Act Strategically
The legal landscape of labour and employment law is evolving rapidly, requiring employers to reassess their practices. From recent high-impact decisions and the rise in workplace harassment claims to the increasing integration of technology in the workplace, organizations must navigate a constantly changing environment.
In this context, we invite you to attend the Strategic Forum on Labour and Employment Law in Québec City on April 16, a half-day event dedicated to analyzing current issues and identifying practical solutions for employers.
Through practical discussions and real-world insights, this forum will help you better understand emerging trends, adapt your strategies and make informed decisions in a shifting legal landscape.

BCF Speakers
Psychological and Sexual Harassment: Challenges and Employer Obligations
Psychological and Sexual Harassment: Challenges and Employer Obligations
10:00 a.m.
How can employers navigate situations where decisions recognizing work-related psychological injuries do not always converge? How should they respond when the same situation leads both to a claim for a workplace injury and to a complaint of psychological harassment?
In a context where employer obligations regarding the prevention of psychosocial risks continue to evolve, these issues are becoming central for organizations.
This panel will examine the main legal and organizational challenges associated with these complex situations.
Discussions will focus in particular on:
• the strategic management of multiple claims arising from the same situation
• the evolving prevention obligations for employers
• the implications of identifying psychosocial risks: a pitfall or a lever for employers
• the role of designated persons in implementing harassment prevention and complaint-handling policies
Our professionals will share practical guidance and concrete action points to help employers anticipate risks, structure their interventions, and manage these issues with rigor and confidence.
BCF Speakers
