Navigating Sensitive Data Collection in the Workplace

Navigating Sensitive Data Collection in the Workplace: Application to DEI Initiatives, Recruitment & Accommodations

ACC British Columbia and Harris & Company LLP  invite you to join us for a virtual discussion lead by Michela V. Fiorido, Partner at Harris

Workers are more aware than ever before of their rights and are not hesitant to question and make claims or complaints when they feel their rights have been infringed.

Join us for a discussion about the intersection of privacy and human rights law in the collection and use of sensitive personal information. Practical insights for the collection of data in a DEI context will be discussed, in addition to other collection practices that have the potential to increase legal risk.

This will include topics like social media searches; reference and other background checks; using diversity data for hiring decisions; and dealing with personal information in an accommodation context.

Learn practical tips and tools on managing employee concerns and mitigating the risk of human rights complaints, privacy violations and reputational harm.

This event is open to both ACC members and non-members and will qualify for up to 1.0 hours of CPD credits from the Law Society of BC
