Right-sizing mental health solutions for small business

It began as a secondary issue at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but as time passes, it’s quickly becoming a bigger priority.

Mental health is now a major talking point at workplaces across Canada, but can be specifically daunting in the context of small business.

Human Resources Guide to Non-Standard Employment, Second Edition

The workplace of the 21st century will not be characterized predominantly by permanent, full-time employment with job security, regular hours, and benefits. Indeed, today’s trend towards non-standard employment is likely to create a workplace where contingent employment will become the norm in the relatively near future. This text is intended to provide employers with a guide to understanding the various types of non-standard work arrangements and employers’ obligations towards such workers, providing a legal and practical overview of the rights and obligations afforded to non-standard employees and independent contractors.
