Keynote Session #2:
"Post-Pandemic Homework: Legal Update"
Speaker: Cameron Wardell - Mathews, Dinsdale & Clark LLP
Description:
As the pandemic inches ever nearer to its (hopeful) end, employers face the prospect of returning employees to the workplace in a safe manner and in a climate that has seen the imposition of vaccine passports for numerous activities and services. In considering their approach, employers must carefully weigh potential privacy and legitimate human rights issues with the safety of their workforce and expectations of their clients or patrons. If the internet is right about anything (and sometimes it is), the controversy involved in this balancing act is certain to make things complicated.
Topics discussed will include:
- Recent Covid-19 case law
- Human rights issues arising from vaccines and vaccination policies
- Mandatory vs. Voluntary Vaccination Policies
- Other issues arising from the impending (or ongoing) return to work

"Psychological Safety: Connect, Support, Build Trust"
Speaker: Ruthann Weeks - Harmony In The Workplace
Description:
How do you support your staff and still get all the work done? Can teams connect in an authentic way working remotely? What is the best way to retaining key staff?
As you build out a pandemic return-to-work strategy there is a lot to consider. Balancing demands from staff and leadership, addressing fear and anxiety, all while taking care of yourself is challenging. Embracing psychological safety is the key to healthy and safe work cultures that prosper people, advance business, and build trust.
