Matissa Hollister serves as Assistant Professor (Teaching) in Organizational Behaviour at McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management, concurrently holding the role of Social Initiative Coordinator. Her scholarly work addresses critical transformations in contemporary work structures and labor markets.

- BA in Urban Studies, Architecture, and Urban Planning, USA institution
Hollister's research program centers on employment instability and job tenure dynamics across North American and European labor markets, with growing emphasis on AI's impact on human resources. Her investigations into work-family intersections reveal gendered consequences of economic restructuring, while studies of comparative labor policies highlight institutional responses to rising job insecurity. Recent work develops ethical frameworks for data-driven hiring practices, emphasizing human-centered design in algorithmic management systems.
Analysis of her publication trajectory shows consistent methodological rigor in longitudinal labor market analysis since 2004, with notable pivot toward technology-impacted work after 2017. Her cross-national studies (Canada, US, UK, Germany) demonstrate how economic restructuring fragments career pathways while exposing demographic disparities in job security.

She actively shapes policy through U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission consultations and co-chairs the Responsible AI Certification Standards HR Working Group, while delivering executive education on AI ethics through McGill's Executive Institute.
