Overview
A respectful workplace is one where every worker is free to contribute to their maximum potential regardless of race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, family status or disability, and where workers are valued and supported by the company, their supervisors, and their co-workers. Respectful Workplace training will help employees recognize and avoid behaviours that could be perceived as harassing, bullying, discriminatory, or violence.
Our Live ‘Respectful Workplace Training’ is a 2.5 hour virtual, instructor-led training session presented using an online platform such as Zoom or Skype. Agenda can be customized to meet your training requirements whether it is specific to employee or manager training, groups or one-on-one.
