Bar-Dayan, Tova

About Me


Following a two-decade progressive career in Human Resources
and Labour Relations roles in both public and private sectors and in both
unionized and non-unionized environments, wherein she advised and strategically
partnered with senior and executive management on workplace matters (e.g. investigations,
grievances, terminations, recruitment, etc.), and fuelled by a passion for the
human side of business, Tova established Sage HR Consulting Inc. in 2017.

Tova then recognized a growing demand for
trustworthy, professional independent workplace investigations stemming from
employers’ statutory obligations to investigate claims of workplace harassment,
violence, or discrimination, which has been accelerated as a result of social
justice movements.  Consequently, BD Investigations, a division of Sage HR
Consulting Inc., was born.

During her time in corporate roles as well as
with her consulting firm, Tova has investigated claims of harassment, sexual
harassment, workplace bullying, racism/anti-black racism, theft, improper
conduct, and more, including those which could have resulted in significant
litigation and/or reputational risk. This experience is bolstered by her status
as a licensed private investigator (Ontario).

Today, Tova takes great pride in conducting
workplace investigations, assessments and restorations that are thorough,
impartial, trauma-informed and, above all else, put people first. To learn more
