Regulatory updates rarely arrive with perfect timing. For federally regulated employers, the gap between “we heard about it” and “we’re ready for it” is where risk tends to build.

Most workplace bullying doesn’t start with a formal complaint. It starts with small moments that get brushed aside because no one wants to make it a “thing.”

This Workplace Bullying Awareness Week, we’re encouraging leaders and HR teams to ask a harder question: if someone on your team were experiencing this today, would they know where to go? And would they feel safe going there?

Clear policies matter. But culture is what decides whether people actually use them. If you’re reviewing your respectful workplace policy or reporting process, our team is here to help.

HR is often described in terms of policies, processes and compliance. But at its heart, the work has always been about people.

This Thanksgiving, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the relationships that make our work meaningful: the organizations that bring us into their toughest conversations, the candidates who trust us with their next career move and the learners who show up ready to grow.

From all of us at The Orion Group, Happy Thanksgiving.

September 30 is a day to honour Survivors, remember the children who never returned home, and recognize the lasting impact of the residential school system on Indigenous families and communities.

It is also a reminder that reconciliation is an ongoing responsibility.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action provide a framework for that work. Today, we encourage everyone to take the time to read them, reflect on where they have influence, and consider what meaningful action can look like beyond September 30.



Listen. Learn. Act. Continue the work.

We’re excited to share that CharityVillage has published our latest article: “Your employees got the message, so why didn’t anything change?”

For organizations navigating change, one of the biggest challenges isn’t getting the message out. It’s making sure the message actually leads to understanding, alignment, and action. Our latest piece explores why communication can fall short during times of change and what leaders can do to close that gap.

We’re proud to have the conversation featured by CharityVillage, and we’d love for you to give it a read.

Your dashboard is all green. Hiring's faster. Turnover's down. Training completion is at 100%.

But are you hiring better people? Are your best employees staying? Did anyone actually learn anything?
That's Goodhart's Law - when a measure becomes the target, it stops measuring what matters. The fix isn't fewer KPIs. It's pairing every metric with the outcome it's supposed to represent.
