Must my employer tell us if they want to monitor badge scans to take attendance for in-office days? Generally, employers are not required to obtain employee consent to engage in this type of electronic monitoring, but they should provide notice if they are doing so

Great to be featured yesterday in the @theglobeandmail.com Nine to Five column. Clear employer policies are needed to manage remote/hybrid work arrangements effectively. #employmentlaw #hybridwork www.theglobeandmail.com/business/car...

In my experience, nonprofit workforce issues are structural. A lack of flexible, unrestricted core funding prevents organizations from increasing salaries to market standards, or even just indexing to inflation. Larger system failures (the inability to help) result in burnout and compassion fatigue.

In Alberta, The Nonprofit Chamber in Calgary recently completed a nonprofit workforce feasibility study, noting that an Alberta nonprofit workforce strategy is long overdue and much needed by the sector. www.thenonprofitchamber.org/workforce-st...

Similarly, @imaginecanada.bsky.social recently released People First: A Portrait of Canada's Nonprofit Workforce. Their research noted that (predominantly female and racialized) nonprofit employees are compensated 13% less than other workers. imaginecanada.ca/sites/defaul...

Changemaker Wellbeing Index 2025 A collaboration between Future of Good & Environics Research, the Wellbeing Index is the first-of-its-kind report uncovering the realities of nonprofit work through data and lived experience.

There is lots of important Canadian research emerging about #nonprofitworkforce issues. One example is the Changemaker Wellbeing Index recently launched by @futureofgood.bsky.social: wellbeingindex.ca. 70% of participating employees reported feeling burnt out/exhausted at least occasionally.
