Welcome To THE STAFF ROOM's blog...

With this blog we are looking for your input. Tell us what you need to see and hear about that relates to employment. Is there a service you are not sure if we provide or not that you are maybe even thinking about. Are you tired of your current job, but can not quit and need to find something else in a confidential manner? Or are you an employer that needs to do a "special" or confidential search?
Let's us know how we can help....if we don't know...we can not help!

Government Blitz, are you ready.....

There is a blitz happening with regard to Safe at Work Ontario, are you ready for this? a lot of businesses thought they were ready and they were not. There fines thousands of dollars and in some cases they were shut down. This is not a laughing matter unless you have millions and billions to give the government. If you are i the following sectors you are EXTREMELY at risk RIGHT NOW! Industrial, Construction, MINING and Health Care. You are a target right now and this is when it all starts to go down hill if you are not in compliance.
Here is an example..This is for Mining...
Between 2005 and 2009, 176 workers died and another 36 workers developed occupational diseases related to respiratory illnesses in the MINING SECTOR, according to claims information from the WSIB.

In October and November 2011, ministry inspectors conducted 61 visits to 36 underground mining and issued 207 orders under the OHSA, including 22 stop work orders to underground mines.

IS this something you really want on your mind with PDAC just around the corner?

Stats Canada......jobs growth.....


NEW THIS YEAR
Legislative changes introduced in 2009 are now in force: Bill 168 (June 15, 2010) and the new Designated Substances Regulation 490/09 and amendments to the following Regulations: Control of Exposure to Biological or Chemical Agents, Confined Spaces, Industrial Establishments, Health Care and Residential Facilities, Designated Substance – Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations and Needle Safety (all in force July 1, 2010).

StatsCan revisions show higher December jobs growth
Job losses less severe than originally estimated


      




OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's economy created 21,700 net new jobs in December, up from the 17,500 previously reported, according to revised data released by Statistics Canada.
StatsCan revised estimates from its Labour Force Survey going back three years, using the latest seasonal factors.
The December unemployment rate was unchanged at 7.5 per cent, it said.
The job losses in November and October now appear to be less severe than originally estimated. The net job loss in November was 5,500 versus the 18,6000 StatsCan previously reported but the unemployment rate was a notch higher at 7.5 per cent.
In October the economy shed 52,700 positions rather than 54,000, according to the new data, and the unemployment rate was 7.4 per cent versus the 7.3 per cent previously reported.
From December 2010 to December 2011, the economy created 190,000 net jobs, just 200 fewer than previously estimated.
The economy recovered all the jobs lost during the recession in January 2011, StatsCan said.

Call us BEFORE you get a fine....

We are focusing on the Bill 168 and OADA right now. These two amendments to the Disability Act and Occupational health and safety act. They have fines as low as $10,000 or 12 months in jail. These are not being taken lightly and the Canadian government is not taking these lightly.


Bullying has been effecting the work place for many many years and yet people are still under the thought that this is just a kid thing. You could not be any more wrong. This could be just about anything that makes a person feel uncomfortable or threatened and this will give them a higher absenteeism. The problem is that too many employers are not looking at these things and recognizing the reasons behind some of the changed behaviors.Employers must be educated in this so they can educate their employees and make sure there is a company policy in place to deal with this problem.
That is where we come in. We will come in and assess your work place, provide you with proper training to you and your staff, ensure that you have a proper policy and that it is also give to all employees to read, review and sign off on so that it may be placed i their employee files. This is only a SMALL PART of the process to ensure you are not going to to be held in a position where you are deemed non compliant.

So give us a call at 1-888-716-7791 our website is www.the-staffroom.com
