Benard + Associates is very pleased and proud to announce the recipients of our scholarship. This year we could not just choose one so we doubled the scholarship and chose two very well deserving young women. Abigail Richardson and Nadia Khan both received $2500.00 today from Benard + Associates. Abigail will attend McMaster University to study Engineering in the Co-op Program and Nadia will attend University of Waterloo to undertake an Honours Arts program with Co-op looking toward majoring in Economics! We are so happy to be contributing and helping both of these accomplished young students' goals. Unfortunately, Nadia could not join us for the celebration we had today, but we do have a picture with Abigail. We wish them both all the very best!

We were so pleased to interview Lara Kinkartz from Weirfoulds LLP. Lara discussed some interesting perspectives and insights gained while in her role as Associate Commission Counsel to the Public Inquiry into the Safety and Security of Residents in the Long-Term Care Homes System. This was the inquiry prompted by the actions of serial killer nurse, Elizabeth Wettlaufer. #podcast #longtermcare #nursing

Today is a special day at Benard + Associates. We are celebrating our 15th anniversary and are so happy and proud to have reached this point. It’s not easy to keep a business alive this long, let alone keep growing it. It takes a committed team with a common purpose and I am so proud of our team of dedicated, customer focused superheroes who make it all happen each and every day. We are so thankful for the support of our amazing clients and fantastic colleagues. Our work is sometimes a thrill, often times sad, and occasionally frustrating. However, our passion for making a difference and being part of the solution is what keeps us driving forward, doing what we do best. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

So pleased to speak today to the largest ever audience (over 350 people) at HR Hot Topics. This annual event is sponsored by H2R Business Solutions, Gowlings WLG, and Grand River Personnel. I spoke on the topic of preventing harassment complaints in the workplace. All the speakers were great and it was my honour to be included among them. Speakers included Jackie Lauer, Linda Lehtonen, Neena Gupta, Robin Bender, and Teresa Quinlan. Thank you to Jill Zappitelli, CHRL of H2R Business Solutions, who was an amazing Moderator.

It is shaping up to be a crazy Fall with so many courses and conferences scheduled. We have sold out our September 24th and October 1st courses, but we still have room on October 8th for "Assessing Credibility & Writing Conclusions".

Our company spends a lot of time in workplaces investigating, mediating, and working to restore and improve relationships. We have observed first hand the issues that face many in the LGBTQ2 community. We want to take a moment to wish everyone a happy Pride month. This is a time that we hope people can take a moment, reflect, and embrace all HUMAN BEINGS for who they are. Our differences are our strength. #pridemonth2019

People are often way too hard on themselves because most of the time they are way too easy on themselves. Think about that, and always go that one more round when it counts.
