Online Training: Respect in the Workplace Training for Supervisors

Supervisors play a critical role in preventing and addressing workplace bullying and harassment. This course is designed specifically for leaders who need to recognize risks, respond effectively, and support their teams. While industries like healthcare, education, transit, and government face higher risks, every workplace must be prepared.

Bullying and harassment not only threatens employee safety but also drives up costs through absenteeism, turnover, and reduced productivity. Canadian legislation requires organizations and their supervisors to meet strict training standards on bullying, and harassment.

In addition to learning about workplace disrespect, bullying, and harassment, this program lays out the components of a harassment prevention program that will promote a positive and respectful workplace culture. Supervisors will come away with a better understanding of corporate policy and procedures to prevent workplace harassment and violence. With the right training, supervisors can lead by example, strengthen workplace culture, and ensure a safe and respectful environment for everyone.
