Sexual Assault Cases in the Criminal Court
2024-11-29 | Online
Make sure you are up to date on the recent changes in sexual assault law and have the practical tools to investigate, prosecute or defend cases effectively. You should also know when a non-criminal court process is a better option for all involved.
Don’t miss Osgoode Professional Development’s upcoming one-day deep dive into the latest legislation, important decisions and best approaches before, during and after trial.
Optimum outcomes in sexual offence criminal cases are contingent on good education and best practices. An allegation of sexual assault raise unique challenges for lawyers, judges and investigators. In recent years, the justice system’s handling of these cases has come under sustained scrutiny. Join a faculty of top-level lawyers and judges to learn the latest in the law and effective approaches.
Sexual assault cases are difficult for all parties involved. The complainant must undergo emotional and sometimes lengthy cross-examination. The accused faces the stigma of a sexual assault conviction as well as the prospect of a lengthy jail sentence, collection of DNA and compliance with the sex offence registry. There is often no corroboration and much public scrutiny. A widely respected faculty will offer guidance on key challenges and optimal approaches. This conference will be a forum for robust discussion and an opportunity to ask your questions and make your comments.

Employee Engagement: How to Foster Motivation
2024-12-12 10:00 - 13:00 | Online
When employees are not actively engaged at work, not only do they suffer – the organization does as well. Workplaces with high levels of engagement have employees that are committed and feel a connection to the organization. Engaged employees are willing to use discretionary time, brainpower, and effort beyond what is expected of them. This workshop explores how employee engagement occurs more readily when employees are respected and cared for, when they do tasks that bring them satisfaction, and when they work in an organization that makes a difference. Participants will learn unique insights for increasing engagement and be challenged to think critically about their approach to employee engagement.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion, participants should be able to:

Identify the signs of employee engagement within their organization
Define traditional and current ways of thinking about engagement
Assess the levels of employee engagement within their own organization

Based on the book, The Culture Question, this workshop provides a guide for how every organization can become a great place to work.

By exploring six key elements that make up a healthy workplace culture, participants will learn the answers to two fundamental questions: “How does your organization’s culture impact how much people like where they work?” and “What can leaders do to make it better?”
