The prominence of “mental health” has reached the forefront of employees’ minds in recent years. However, while employers have started promoting mental health-facing benefits and programs, they have also seen an uptick in mental health-related accommodation requests. In this session, in-house counsel will gain essential knowledge on managing mental health accommodation requests while formulating policies that support workplace wellness. Key areas of focus include legal compliance in mental health accommodations, strategies for sustaining a health-conscious work environment, and maintaining confidentiality in the accommodation process. Attendees will leave equipped with practical tools to create a supportive and legally sound workplace that prioritizes employee well-being. This session is an invaluable opportunity to enhance your understanding of integrating mental health considerations into your company's policies and practices. This event is free for members and non-members (must be in-house council).

Contracts are the lifeblood of your company - the source of both revenue and third-party support. Yet contracting processes too often undermine the relationships they are meant to create.

Radiant Law has written the book on speeding up contracting, Sign Here: The Enterprise Guide to Closing Contracts Quickly and the presenters will be sharing their experiences and tips on how to improve the contracting (basically any agreement) process in large organisations.

This session is for anyone who wants to help their company enter into agreements faster and stop wasting money on slow, expensive and inefficient processes that are a turn-off to prospective customers and suppliers.

Learning Objectives:

  1. What "good" looks like in contracts.
  2. A framework for how legal can help the business succeed in creating great relationships.
  3. A toolset for influencing a broader conversation about improving contracting, when there isn’t an end-to-end owner of the process.
