Workplace Sexual Harassment Project

Follow us on Facebook

The goal of shift is to address and prevent sexual harassment in Island workplaces through awareness, education and training that is tailored for employers, employees, high school students and the general public.

This project is funded by the Department of Justice Canada and is currently able to offer training and resources at no cost to participants.

It isn't easy to talk about sexual harassment. We can help shift the conversation to equip and empower employers and employees to prevent and address sexual harassment at work through training tailored to specific industries.

The shift project offers lively virtual (Zoom) or in-person training sessions for management and staff.

Workplace Training: Know What to Do

We are able to provide training for employers, employees and management staff so all can better understand the topic, as well as customized training linked to your workplace policy and procedures on dealing with sexual harassment. In addition, bystander training can offered as well as tools for a Management Alert System for employees that deal with customers.

Topics covered can include:

• Defining sexual harassment in the workplace
• Knowing everyone's rights and responsibilities
• What to include in your Policy and Procedure
• Maintaining a safe and respectful workplace
• What to consider when investigating a complaint
• How to respond when the harasser is a customer
• Bystander Intervention Training
• Learning (and unlearning) Unconscious Bias
• Restoring a safe workplace after an incident of sexual harassment
