Harassment Prevention and a Respectful Workplace
Half Day workshop
Norwood Hotel, Winnipeg
March 7, 2012, 9:00am-noon, $285
Last year saw two key changes to the Manitoba Workplace Health and Safety Regulation. It was amended to require all employers to have a Harassment Prevention Policy in place to protect workers from workplace bullying, humiliation and intimidation. Also, changes took effect which require employers in certain identified industries to have a Violence Prevention Policy to protect workers.
A year has passed and many lessons have been learned related to the amended Regulation. Employers are seeing the value in having an effective policy that not only encompasses the requirements under the Regulation, but also includes the qualities of a Respectful Workplace.
In this half day session you will learn what you need to do to make sure your organization complies with the amended Regulations. You will also learn how a Respectful Workplace culture and policy can impact positively on your work environment and reduce incidents of harassment. You will leave the session with:
- A thorough and clear understanding of the amendments and the requirements related to policy development
- Case studies illustrating the changes with respect to Harassment Prevention and a Respectful Workplace
- A sample Respectful Workplace Policy, which includes the requirements under Harassment Prevention
- A sample Violence Prevention Policy
- Relevant Safe Work Manitoba Publications
- Hands on, practical information that can be deployed right away
Who should attend this session? HR professionals, Health and Safety professionals and committee members, Managers, Directors, Supervisors and any individual responsible for ensuring a safe and healthy workplace.
