Overview

Workplace bullying and
harassment can happen to anyone, at any workplace. Recent changes to the Workers Compensation Act address
workplace bullying and harassment, and it’s important that every worker,
manager, and supervisor is aware of the law and policies. This online session educates
participants about bullying and harassment legislation and explains how the law
protects workers from these types of behaviours. Participants are provided with
examples of both respectful and disrespectful conduct, and learn what their
duties are with respect to preventing, recognizing, addressing and reporting
incidents that involve bullying and harassment.
