Workplace Harassment Policy

An expert from the University of Windsor says at least 40% of Canadians have experienced one or more acts of bullying in the workplace.  Jacqueline Power says these incidents include withholding information from a person, excluding people from meetings, threats and intimidation. 

All workplaces in Ontario regardless of size are required to have a workplace harassment policy and a program in place to implement and maintain the policy.  

Does your workplace have a policy and program in place to prevent this?

Part of your duties as an employer includes ensuring that all workers enjoy a harassment free workplace. When workers feel safe, they are happier and more productive.  

If you don't currently have a policy, we can develop one for you to ensure you are meeting government standards.  

If you already have a policy, we can examine it and make any changes necessary for it to be compliant with the standards.

For example:
Does your policy and program cover harassment from all sources such as customers, clients, employers, supervisors, workers, strangers and domestic/intimate partners?  Does it cover how the employer will investigate and deal with incidents or complaints of workplace harassment? 

These are just 2 of the 9 standards which all workplace harassment policies and programs must meet.
