Specializing in harassment, discrimination & interpersonal conflict in the workplace issues

• Policy development requires a broad understanding of human rights law, conflict resolution and workplace management

• Even if you presently have a policy, it should be reviewed and updated regularly

• A well-developed harassment policy can act as a leading edge problem solving workplace tool

• Harassment policies that are not reflective of the human rights code have little impact on lowering corporate and managerial liability

• Harassment policies must include a reference to the human rights code, a problem solving emphasis, good definitions, clear steps in the process and the identification of people with policy responsibilities
