Harassment can be based on a variety of factors such as
race, sex, and disability. Experiencing uncomfortable situations in the
workplace may be more than an offence against an individual. It can be a crime
committed against the law, which is why the topic of workplace harassment has
become a very important conversation for every organization to have.
The Workplace Harassment workshop will give participants the tools
necessary to recognize harassment in the workplace as well as understand their
rights and responsibilities under the law with regard to safety in the
workplace. Through this workshop participants will recognize the necessity to
create programs that teach employees how to identify harassment and implement
anti-harassment policies.
