Topics to be addressed include: \n\nHow can legal practitioners and workplace parties apply anti-racist\, anti-oppressive\, and intersectional approaches when reviewing\, negotiating\, or drafting language in contracts\, policies\, and collective agreements? Are legal practitioners\, by virtue of applicable rules of professional conduct\, required to consider equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (“EDI”) when reviewing and drafting such documents?\nWhat steps should be taken prior to recommending or implementing new provisions or policies intended to address EDI issues? What does an effective employee consultation process look like?\nWhat language should be avoided or updated in employment contracts\, policies\, and collective agreements to ensure that language is inclusive and non-discriminatory?\nWhat is involved in taking an “Indigenizing” or “decolonizing” approach to workplace issues?\nWhat are some examples of clauses that have recently been negotiated that reduce barriers for equity-seeking employees?\nWhat lessons can be learned from recent decisions in which collective agreement\, employment contract\, or policy language was found to be discriminatory?\nHow can parties ensure that contract language aimed at promoting EDI does not conflict with other rights (e.g. seniority or other rights of coworkers)?\nWhat impact are recent developments in the U.S. having on EDI initiatives in Canada?\n\nModerator \n\n\n \nDavid Bennett\nMediator\, Arbitrator\, Investigator \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n \nAbigail Cheung\nEmployer Counsel\nHarris & Company LLP \n\n\n \nJawara Gairey\nDirector\, Regional Offices\nPublic Service Alliance of Canada \n\n\n\nLive Webinar: \nAttend the session in real time and engage directly with the speakers. \nIncludes: \n\nDownloadable comprehensive reference materials researched by Lancaster House lawyers\nAccess to the live session\nOpportunity to ask the experts direct questions and participate in the chat with your peers\n\nOption: Live Webinar$295.00Add to cart	\n			\n  \nBundle (Video\, MP3\, & Audio) \nGet the full live experience plus post-event resources for continued learning. \nIncludes: \n\nDownloadable comprehensive reference materials researched by Lancaster House lawyers\nAccess to the live session\nOpportunity to ask the experts direct questions and participate in the chat with your peers\nVideo recording of the session\nMP3 audio recording\nFull transcript\n\nOption: Live Webinar\, video\, and MP3 Bundle$595.00Add to cart	\n			\n  \nWebinar On Demand \nAccess the session anytime\, at your convenience.
