H.R. eSources provided this interesting list of information regarding Canadian Human Resources. Some of these sites provide a wealth of information for those dealing with HR issues north of the border. Also, don't forget Michael Fitzgibbon's, Thoughts From and Management Lawyer, and Jonas Schenk's Blog to round out a wealth of information on Canadian HR and employment law.

'Nawlins Bound
In mid-December, I will be traveling with a group of professionals from the Turnaround Management Association to the Gulf Coast. TMA has launched a major initiative called TMAssist to work with companies in the region affect by the recent hurricanes. For those of you who are not familiar with TMA, it is a professional association focusing on corporate renewal and organizations restructuring. Typical membership is comprised of turnaround specialists, attorneys, bankers and other advisors to companies going through these issues. I was recently elected to the board of directors of the Long Island Chapter.
Once down there, we anticipate doing a series of workshops over two days in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Obviously, I'll be focused on the people issues. It is anticipated that several hundred will be in attendance at these workshops. Needless to say, I am excited at the prospect a providing guidance and assisting those in need. I'll keep you posted as things develop.

Workplace Violence - the HR Manager's Nightmare
This article about a terminated employee who allegedly shot three managers at work the other day before killing himself raises critical issues regarding workplace safety and preventing violence in the workplace. A while back I posted this which provides links to a wealth of resources on the web available to help organizations prevent violence from occurring in their workplaces. My heart goes out to all those affected.
