Workplace Compliance, HR & Employment Support for Employers and Employees
At D&DCPD, our approach is built around prevention, protection and practical resolution.
Built on more than 15 years of professional experience, D&DCPD helps employers establish strong, compliant and well-managed workplaces through tailored employment contracts, policies and procedures, compliance reviews, management guidance and effective employee relations strategies.
Our services extend beyond traditional workplace compliance to include independent employee office hours, workplace investigations, conflict resolution, accommodation and return-to-work support, and guidance through complex employment decisions.
Our focus is on preventing problems before they arise, addressing concerns early and helping businesses create safer, more productive and successful workplaces.
For employees, we offer guidance and advocacy to help them understand and uphold their rights, address workplace concerns and make informed decisions. Our goal is to resolve issues early, reduce unnecessary costs and disputes, and help businesses build safer, more productive and successful workplaces.
Our support extends beyond D&DCPD's own services.
Through our established network of trusted, independent professionals and businesses, D&DCPD has expanded beyond traditional workplace protection and compliance to offer a more comprehensive approach to workplace and business support.
We serve as a central point of contact, helping clients address their workplace needs directly through D&DCPD and coordinating access to complementary expertise when specialized assistance is required.
From everyday workplace management to complex organizational challenges, our goal is to provide Canadian businesses and employees with access to the right professionals, services and solutions — all through one trusted point of contact.
Our professional network provides access to additional expertise in areas such as:
-
day-to-day HR administration and onboarding support
-
workplace injury support
-
organizational change and transformation
-
business and financial advisory services
-
career and financial transition support
-
legal representation and litigation
-
other specialized business and workplace services
For employers, this means access to coordinated support from prevention and compliance through to complex workplace disputes and organizational challenges.
For employees, it means practical assistance during workplace difficulties, injuries, termination and career or financial transition.
Our goal is to provide one trusted point of contact that can identify what support is required, bring in the right professional when necessary, and help clients move forward with clarity and confidence.
Our Professional Network
D&DCPD Workplace Protection and Compliance Group was founded to provide practical workplace protection, compliance, employee relations and management support to Canadian businesses and employees.
But workplace and business challenges do not always fit neatly within one area of expertise.
That is why D&DCPD has developed relationships with trusted independent professionals and businesses whose services complement our own.

Smarter Compliance Helps The Bottom Line
Workplace disputes are less costly to prevent than to litigate. We help employers make informed, defensible workplace decisions from the outset, and assist employees in understanding their rights, options and strategic next steps when workplace issues arise.
Our goal is to resolve issues collaboratively wherever possible, reduce unnecessary cost and disruption, and help everyone move forward so the workplace can return its focus to people, operations and business performance.
Bilingual service in English and French.
Workplace Decisions Require Experience and Sound Judgment
Employment matters affect more than policies and paperwork. They influence business continuity, professional reputations, financial security and the relationships that keep a workplace functioning.
D&DCPD is led by Darcy Daoust, a former labour and employment lawyer with more than 20 years of experience in employment matters, workplace disputes, investigations and organizational risk.
That experience informs how we assess a concern: the facts, the applicable requirements, the quality of the documentation and the practical consequences of the available options.
We help clients address immediate concerns while considering how today’s decisions may affect tomorrow’s outcome.

Why Choose D&DCPD
Prevention, Response and Resolution
We address concerns early
D&DCPD was founded on the idea that many disputes can be prevented—or their impact reduced—through clear agreements, better documentation, appropriate processes and timely intervention.
We help clients identify concerns while there is still an opportunity to address them constructively.
We respond when a problem develops
When a complaint, investigation or employment dispute is already underway, priorities change. We help clients establish what happened, identify immediate concerns, organize the evidence and assess practical options.
The focus is a considered response that accounts for the facts, the risks and your objectives.
We help you prepare for the next stage
Some matters can be addressed through workplace processes, communication or negotiated resolution. Others require specialized legal assistance.
Where legal advice or representation is required, we help clients prepare their files and coordinate with external counsel.
Experience informs the approach
A background in labour and employment law, combined with practical workplace experience, supports careful assessment and clear recommendations.
Support tailored to the circumstances
We consider your objectives, the working relationship, the available evidence and the financial and operational implications of each option.
Clear communication in English and French
We explain issues and next steps in straightforward language, with professional bilingual service throughout the engagement.
Flexible service arrangements
Support is available for individual matters, defined projects and ongoing needs. Fees and scope are discussed in advance, with no required monthly retainer.
Practical follow-through
Our work includes documents, communications, training and implementation support to help you act on the recommendations.
Start With a Free 30-Minute Consultation
The initial consultation is an opportunity to explain your concern, identify immediate priorities and discuss the type of assistance that may be appropriate.
