SUMMARY:Learn & Grow webinar: HR Compliance Challenges for Franchisors & Franchisees: What Every Franchise Leader Needs to Know Now
DESCRIPTION:Franchise systems face a rapidly shifting HRcompliance landscape — one where heightened scrutiny\, new workplace expectations\, and increasing administrative demands place franchisees directly on the front lines. In this highenergy\, practical session\, our presenters will break down today’s most significant HR compliance pressures and provide guidance on how both franchisors and franchisees can stay ahead of risk while protecting their brand and workforce. \nWhat to Expect: \n1. The Franchisee’s HR Compliance Burden: Where the Risks Really Are\nWe’ll begin with a fastpaced overview of the HR obligations franchisees are expected to meet — policy\, job posting and recordkeeping requirements to health and safety\, harassment prevention\, workplace accommodation\, and more. This segment highlights the “highrisk hotspots” where noncompliance most often occurs. \n2. Avoiding the Most Common Compliance Pitfalls\nFranchisees often face compliance challenges tied to staffing models\, turnover\, and operational pressures. We’ll unpack the areas that regulators and employees most frequently scrutinize\, offering clear and actionable steps franchisees can take to strengthen compliance without overwhelming their daytoday operations. \n3. How Franchisors Can Support Compliance — Without Overstepping\nFranchisors must balance brand consistency with legal independence. Our presenters will explore how franchisors can develop strong systemwide HR frameworks\, tools\, and training that promote compliance while avoiding actions that could increase the risk of being treated as an employer. \nRegister here: June 24 | HR Compliance Challenges for Franchisors & Franchisees: What Every Franchise Leader Needs to Know Now – CANADIAN FRANCHISE ASSOCIATION
