Michael Penner - Kent Employment Law
Keynote Session: Termination in 2023 - New Developments in Law
Session description:
There have been significant recent developments in the law around termination and employee entitlements, including eligibility for bonuses, long term disability benefits and the viability of termination clauses. Though protections for employers remain, they will need to reassess their risks associated with terminating employees.
 Meet Michael Penner:
Michael is also a labour law specialist and has handled hundreds of grievances both in the private and public sectors. Not only has he conducted hundreds of arbitrations as union counsel, he is also a Qualified Arbitrator and brings that additional perspective to his work.
As a senior litigator, nothing fazes Michael. Regardless of the complexity of the case, Michael has an innate ability to focus on the essential issues rather than the unnecessary "noise" that can come with legal disputes.
Michael's perspective is always predicated on "return on investment", recognizing that each case has an economic value that must always be strategically considered with his clients. As such, he uses his extensive experience to maximize results for his clients.
Michael has played competitive rugby for over 38 years and brings that mentality to his work: warrior on the field, gentleman off the field.

Keynote Session: Managing, Motivating and Inspiring Hybrid and Remote Teams

Now, in the absence of our teams collaborating in person, it has never been more important for our people to feel seen, heard, supported, connected to their colleagues, and trusted and empowered to deliver. With hybrid and remote workplaces the new status quo, leaders must continuously evolve their own toolkits to remain effective at managing, motivating, and inspiring their people.
In this session, you will learn best practices for navigating new, rapidly evolving work landscapes, and leave with solutions and strategies for leading happy, high-performing hybrid and remote teams.

Char Stark - Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, BeaconHR
Keynote Session: Prioritizing DEI & People-First Hiring
Session Description:
With the onset of a looming recession, companies are considering scaling back their DEIB & people-first hiring practices and budgets. Ultimately this will hurt organizations’ ability to thrive. Employer brands, retention, talent pols, and engagement will all be negatively impacted.
However, the good news is that continuing DEIB & people practices during a recession doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive! In this session, I will help you evaluate your current DEIB practices (with a focus on hiring), discuss how you can maintain DEIB & people-first practices, and support you in navigating HR during an age of continuous layoffs and economic downturn.
Meet Char Stark:
Char is a Talent Acquisition leader & people advocate. With an M. A. In Organizational Psychology, she specializes in supporting organizations as they scale up by discovering A+ talent and nurturing value-driven cultures.

When she isn’t helping connect people with their dream jobs, she loves to bake her friends’ dream cakes, rollerblade, play Catan or the Sims or hang with her small rescue dog, Cass!
