Talk about how to oversee medically permitted and legally allowed marijuana in the workplace was on the agenda for the Retail Council of Canada’s 2017 Human Resources Conference this month.
"It's fascinating how members are being stretched to tackle highly nuanced and complex human resources issues that were not even on the radar a few years ago," said Kyle Tomlin, Retail Council of Canada's senior director of events and education. Tomlin had noted how it would “be one of the most controversial conferences Retail Council of Canada has ever produced as we all try to together find a way to bring solutions to these modern workforce challenges for retailers in Canada."
