The Manager's Role in Harassment Prevention and the Respectful Workplace (Canada)
Course overview
This course empowers managers and supervisors to identify, prevent, and address harassment and workplace violence effectively. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of your legal duties under Canadian federal and provincial legislation, then learn to go from compliance to culture-shift. Through real-world scenarios involving microaggressions, disrespectful behaviors, and serious safety concerns, you'll gain actionable strategies to respond to reports, conduct fair investigations, support affected workers, and model respectful leadership. Learn to recognize early warning signs, mitigate risks, enforce policies consistently, and create a psychologically safe environment where your team feels secure, valued, and empowered to speak up.
