Human Rights Sensitivity Training
Available for Federal, Provincial Employers & Non-Profit Organizations
What you will learn:
- What are the grounds for a human rights complaint
- What constitutes discrimination and harassment in the workplace
- What are the duties of an Employer as it relates to Human Rights
- What are the consequences to the Employer if discrimination is shown to have taken place
No one purposely sets out with the intention to discriminate. Often times, Employers/Managers/Supervisors do not realize that they have discriminated against an Employee.
Examples
- An Employee has numerous absences due to his/her alcoholism. To terminate him/her would be discriminatory as he/she is considered to have a disability (alcoholism)
- A more senior Employee is informed by his/her Employer that he/she is too old to do his/her job and/or has been told that he/she should retire. This is considered to be discrimination based on age
- An Employee’s work performance is not satisfactory; however, she is also pregnant. While there are performance issues, if that Employee were terminated, she would be likely to argue that she was discriminated against because of her pregnancy
