Harassment can take many forms, from verbal abuse and intimidation to discriminatory behaviour and bullying. Left unaddressed, it can disrupt productivity, damage morale, and create a toxic work environment. In severe cases, workplace harassment may escalate into violence.
Policies and Programs
Many jurisdictions, including Ontario, require employers to have workplace violence and harassment policies and programs under occupational health and safety law. A policy outlines an employer’s commitment to preventing harassment, while a program defines the steps to enforce it, including reporting, investigation, and training. Employers must ensure their policies and programs are written, easily accessible, and regularly reviewed.
HR Proactive simplifies policy development by providing comprehensive policies, letters, forms, job descriptions, how-to guides, and training materials. Our Knowledge Platform streamlines the process, offering a comprehensive library of tools and templates, including policies, letters, forms, job descriptions, how-to guides, and training materials.
