Is the legalization of cannabis Y2K all over again? Or are the impacts just beginning to surface? In October 2018, Canada legalized recreational cannabis. While employers faced the change with varying levels of concern and readiness, the full implications will evolve over time.
Join us as Monica Haberl, Senior Research Associate at the Conference Board of Canada, discusses some of the top employer concerns around cannabis legalization, and highlights the Conference Board’s recent research on what organizations are doing to face this issue. She will then lead you through two short, interactive cases where you’ll explore some of the toughest cannabis-related challenges facing organizations today.
