Community Learning Event: “Addressing Discrimination and Harassment: Best Practices for Employers”

Explore best practices in addressing discrimination and harassment, to create organizations that are safe and inclusive.

Canadian laws require all employers to ensure discrimination and harassment-free spaces for their employees.

But before exploring legal obligations, it’s important to examine: What do the words “discrimination” and “harassment” mean? Through interactive exercises, participants will develop a clear understanding of discrimination and harassment in the workplace and be able to identify when each may be occurring.

Participants will also learn about practical, responsive tools: What actions should you take when incidents of discrimination or harassment occur in the workplace? How should you respond to the parties involved? What does the law require? Effective responses to incidents of discrimination and harassment help prevent them from recurring.

Through this workshop, participants will explore actionable strategies to create safe, inclusive, and healthy workplaces for all employees.

Who is this Session for?

This session is for people leaders who want to establish best practices in creating organizations that are free of discrimination and harassment.
