Workplace Respect and Dignity

Workshop Overview

The richness of many successful organizations is the diversity of the workforce that they wholeheartedly embrace. This diversity manifests itself in many ways: experiences, background, education, skills, culture, interests, ethnicity, and so on. This one-day interactive program explores and celebrates the diversity that exists in organizations and then investigates the more serious negative behaviors, including harassment that can invade organizations. We examine the legal definitions and implications of harassment in the workplace. Finally we focus upon what can and should be done in case negative behaviors, including harassment, occur in the workplace. Participants will leave the session with a clear understanding for the need for respect and dignity in the workplace.
