HPRA And Bernardi Human Resource Law Expand Long Standing Collaboration To Support The Future Of Workplaces

Beyond workplace investigations, HRPA and Bernardi have collaborated on interactive, skills-based education covering a range of employment law topics, including the duty to accommodate, best practices in employment terminations, and advanced workplace investigation techniques.

Building on this foundation, the organizations are expanding their collaboration to address emerging workplace challenges. In 2025, HRPA and Bernardi launched the Certificate in Workplace Accommodations Management, providing HR professionals with practical guidance on managing complex accommodation issues. New learning opportunities planned for 2026 will explore the role of artificial intelligence in workplace investigations, including ethical, legal, and practical considerations.

“Our partnership with Bernardi HR Lawyers spans nearly two decades and has played an important role in supporting high quality learning for HR professionals. From the Workplace Investigations Certificate Program to new advanced employment law topics, we are excited to continue growing this collaboration and exploring emerging issues such as AI in the workplace.”

- Lata Viseu, Director, Education, HRPA

“HRPA plays a crucial role in shaping how HR professionals respond to an increasingly complex workplace. We're proud to partner with an organization that is aligned to the realities HR professionals face and consistently future‐focused. We look forward to continuing this partnership as we help navigate what's next in the world of work.”

- Lauren Bernardi, Founder and Managing Partner, Bernardi Human Resource Law LLP

The expanded collaboration reflects a shared commitment to delivering practical, high quality training that helps employers address workplace conflict early, mitigate risk, and foster respectful and inclusive workplaces.
