2009-2010 Training Seminar Schedule
We are proud to offer a range of training options including hour-long breakfast sessions, webinars and 1/2 day interactive seminars at Harris & Company, suitable for the first-time HR practitioner and the seasoned Chief Executive Officer alike.
This year, we are looking to expand our on regularly offered training seminar series, and offer an once a month, update at our office in Vancouver, and a subsequent on-line Webinar that registrants can attend virtually without having to travel or leave their offices.
The Breakfast Learning Seminars will have a limited maximum registration of participants, in order to provide an intimate and interactive learning environment. These BLS sessions will be held at Harris & Company's Vancouver office, and continental breakfast will be served. As attendance is limited, we strongly encourage you to register early to avoid disappointment.
Our online Webinar sessions will able participants to listen to the speakers, view the PowerPoint slides, and then take part in an interactive question and answer period at the end of the presentation. Attending a Harris & Company Webinar is easy! Once you have registered for one of our sessions, you will be sent a link to the virtual meeting room via email. By following this link just before the scheduled time of the Webinar, you will be ready to take part. All you need to participate are an active email address, a working telephone with optional conference features, and an internet browser.
All of the BLS and Webinar sessions will commence at 8:00 a.m. (Pacific Time), and will be approximately one hour in duration.
Lastly, H&C provides 1/2-Day training seminars designed to teach new HR professionals the fundamentals of labour and employment law, or update senior management on new legislation and practices. These sessions are attended on purpose in order to create an atmosphere of interaction and learning, similar to our Breakfast Learning sessions. However, the half-day format allows us more time to explore the topic areas in further detail in order to benefit the attendee. Breakfast will be served.
A list of our upcoming Webinars, together with registration information, is available in the next seminar section of the Harris & Company LLP website.

Aboriginal Employment Law Conferences
Aboriginal organizations are increasingly assuming responsibility for programs and services previously delivered by the federal and provincial governments. At the same time, Aboriginal-owned businesses are becoming important economic forces in their communities. With this growth, Aboriginal organizations have become employers of a significant numbers of employees. In addition to our legal services, we provide seminars covering a wide range of employment issues faced by Aboriginal employers on a regular basis. These seminars are provided in a number of different regions in British Columbia and the Yukon.
Workplace Litigation Avoidance Seminars
Harris & Company LLP has recently developed a specialized training and audit program to help employers prevent workplace issues from becoming litigation headaches. This one-day seminar format, either hosted, or held on-site, will focus on training managers and owners to recognize and resolve potentially difficult legal issues before employees escalate them beyond the workplace. To schedule a Litigation Avoidance seminar in your area, or for further details, please contact Kristina Miller at 604 684 6633 ext 284.
