Kelowna Employer Forum – Recruitment and Hiring: Promises and Pitfalls (June 2017)

Kent Employment Law (KEL)’s Kelowna office invites you to be a part of its ongoing Employer Forums, our resource for forward-thinking business owners and HR professionals.

Created for employers striving to “do good” for their employees, their communities, and the world, our Forums offer an opportunity to connect and learn from each other in a casual, relaxed setting.

With topics ranging from hiring to firing, each Forum rests on the principles of Sustainable Employment and the goals of talent attraction, engagement, productivity and loyalty.

For our June Forum, hosted by KEL Lawyer David Brown, we are pleased to welcome panelist Elysia Knight, HR Manager at Strawhouse Labs. Elysia will lead a discussion on the “promises and pitfalls” involved in recruitment and hiring, and David will offer an employment law perspective.

Forum participants will also have an opportunity to contribute and ask questions so that everyone can benefit from each other’s experiences.
