On a daily basis, HR professionals make decisions, handle sensitive information, and navigate complex workplace situations—often without realizing the professional and organizational liability risks that can come with them. From using AI in hiring to handling workplace investigations, protecting employee information, and advising on compensation, even routine HR responsibilities can create exposures that may have insurance implications.
While you can’t predict every challenge, understanding where liability risks can arise is an important part of managing them. That’s why HRPA and PROLINK—Canada’s Insurance Connection have partnered to bring you a webinar exploring some of key risks and claims that can arise from everyday HR work, including:
- Liabilities associated with using AI for hiring, screening, and performance management;
- Exposures from workplace investigations and the importance of maintaining proper documentation;
- Cyber and privacy risks involving sensitive data stored across HRIS platforms, third-party vendors, and remote access;
- Employment-related claims arising from workplace and compensation decisions;
- Best practices for avoiding claims and how to incorporate insurance as a key component of your risk mitigation strategy;
- And more!
