Anti-Harassment Training
Harassment prevention is crucial for maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace. It helps protect employees from discrimination, bullying, and inappropriate behavior, fostering a positive environment where everyone can thrive. Proactively addressing harassment reduces legal risks, improves employee morale, and enhances productivity. It also demonstrates an organization’s commitment to upholding ethical standards and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, which are increasingly important for retaining talent and building a strong, cohesive team culture.
Our training will help you be in compliance with both federal and provincial law. More importantly, we’ll help your employees gain insight into the spectrum of negative behaviour that can lead to harassment, how to speak up, step in and built a culture that doesn’t tolerate bad behaviour.
Respect and Inclusion At Work: Preventing and Addressing Harassment
In the wake of the #metoo movement, many organizations began placing new scrutiny on dealing with workplace discrimination and harassment. This usually starts with a review of what’s required by law, and compliance with their anti-harassment policy.
Learning to recognize and deal with harassment and unwanted behaviour is crucial. But an approach that focuses only on compliance isn’t enough. Confronting harassment begins with prevention, and prevention begins with culture.
This workshop examines what makes a truly respectful and inclusive workplace, and how everyone – from senior leaders to the front line – can contribute to building a culture of belonging and respect.
Participants will learn to recognize – and prevent – inappropriate behaviour, discrimination, bullying and sexual harassment. They will also gain an understanding of the potential cost of inaction – both to individuals, and organizations.
Microaggressions
An inclusive culture is one where employees feel that they can bring their whole selves to work, without fear of discrimination. But sometimes comments made in the workplace can, often unintentionally, leave employees – or clients – feeling uncomfortable, unsafe and ultimately, excluded.
This session explores just what micro-aggressions are, and how even well meaning people can be guilty of making them. Participants will gain an understanding of the role of unconscious bias in contributing to subtle exclusions and inequities and will learn to recognize and address microaggressions effectively. And yes, how to respond when you’ve made one yourself.
This interactive session will provide hands-on practice in dealing with these uncomfortable interactions.
