The BC Human Rights Code prohibits discrimination and harassment based on various protected characteristics, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and more. Bullying can fall under harassment if it creates a hostile work environment based on these characteristics. In this one-hour webinar, we’ll explore what bullying and harassment is and what it’s not and review individuals and employers’ duty to act and the connection to the BC Human Rights code.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Recognize bullying and harassment behaviors in the workplace
- Understand roles and responsibilities as individual and employer
- Understand BC Human Rights code and how it intersects with bullying and harassment
- Learn how to report bullying and harassment in the workplace
