Audience: Students, Faculty and Staff
This workshop will raise your awareness of behaviours and attitudes that may contribute or lead to workplace harassment. You will also learn how these can be recognized and addressed in order to minimize the incidences of harassing behaviour.
By participating in this workshop, you will:
- become knowledgeable about the legal and policy contexts of workplace harassment
- understand our obligations and rights as employees and supervisors under these laws and policies
- gain skills to create and support an environment where harassment is less likely to occur
- understand the elements of a reasonable response to a harassment complaint
- discuss why bystanders may not intervene and how employers can encourage bystanders to play a role in preventing workplace harassment
This is an online workshop hosted on Microsoft Teams. The link to join will be sent to your inbox from the Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion Trainings email (
hrei.trainings@uwaterloo.ca) 48 hours prior to the workshop date.
