Our firm sometimes acts as a third-party service provider to do the intake of complaints or whistleblower reports on behalf of clients. Clients retain our intake services for a variety of reasons – for example, if there are insufficient resources internally to handle the volume of complaints, or as a good governance measure to encourage those in the organization to come forward.
Dans ce billet, nous vous présentons notre équipe actuelle d’enquêteurs bilingues, composée de Frédérick J. Doucet et de Frédérik Forget. Tous deux mènent leurs enquêtes en anglais et en français, une compétence essentielle chez Rubin Thomlinson puisque nous prenons des dossiers de partout au pays. Nous voulions donc vous donner un aperçu de ce qu’implique le fait de mener des enquêtes bilingues et de la façon dont ces deux professionnels ont développé les compétences linguistiques qui leur permettent de s’épanouir dans leur rôle.
In this blog, we want to introduce you to our current team of bilingual investigators: Frédérick J. Doucet and Frédérik Forget. Both these investigators conduct investigations in English and in French, which is an important skill at Rubin Thomlinson given that we work across the country. We wanted to share with you what being a bilingual investigator entails and how these two investigators developed language capabilities that allow them to be successful in their roles.

Air Canada and its employees have reached a tentative settlement agreement, bringing an end (for now) to the strike action. For the workplace, it is likely that this agreement deals primarily with issues such as terms of the return to work for employees and issues that triggered the strike, for example, wages and compensation.
