Human Rights Sensitivity Training

While most people do not leap out of bed in the morning with a plan to commit an action that would violate your company's compliance with Canadian human rights laws, it can happen instantly. Your business is legally obligated to be prepared to take proper action if and when it does.

Without establishing guidelines for employee conduct in the face of a violation, your business could be at further risk of penalties for non-compliance. Our goal is to educate your staff and build a solid foundation from which to work so that when these situations arise, your management team will be prepared and know precisely which steps to take.

Reach us at (705) 268-6492 today to discuss affordable pricing options and group rates for in-person and online training modules.

What Is Human Rights Sensitivity Training, and Why is it Important?

Sensitivity training is a group-based initiative that prepares employees to manage conduct better when diverse groups of people work together. Understanding and being aware of everyone's role in protecting a group's safety and productivity helps mitigate human rights issues.

Sensitivity training raises awareness how human rights issues come up and it is essential so that your management team is prepared to adapt to, welcome, and respect the needs of individuals from all types of backgrounds. After all, a strong and synergistic workplace relies on a body of people working together with the group's best interests in mind.

Investing in a sensitivity training module can also prevent your business from facing problems with discrimination and harassment. Would you like to know more about how our training programs help strengthen local businesses?

• How to promote an atmosphere of understanding, tolerance, and respect for diversity of all types

Once your team finishes the course, each member will receive a certificate of completion for your records.

Is Human RightsSensitivity Training Effective?

The effectiveness of sensitivity training is dependent on the training provider you choose and how receptive your employees are to making the adjustments needed to remove discrimination and other types of rights violations from the workplace entirely.

With that said, implementing sensitivity training classes is the best way for businesses to prepare for and prevent penalties for human rights infractions that may arise. Without clear guidelines, your company could be held liable for human rights violations because your employees and managers don't realize when their action crosses the line

When upper management has a deeper understanding of the law surrounding human rights in the workplace, you gain the ability to follow your legal requirements to the letter, solve workplace problems when it happen, and keep your organization in compliance with the law.

Benefits of Our Human Rights Sensitivity Training:

• Prevent workplace bullying, harassment, and violence
• Reduce conflict and improve staff morale
• Improve diversity and equity
• Improve hiring practices
• Ensure labour code compliance
• Mitigate liability risks

In an employment context, human rights are governed by the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA) and the Ontario Human Rights Code (OHRC). If you are found guilty of a human rights violation, you could face severe legal consequences, including fines, workplace investigations, and mandatory sensitivity training.
