Bullying and Harassment Prevention for Supervisors

Actsafe Safety Association will be joined by Grégoire Gagnon, Cultural Human Resources Council, to present the webinar Bullying and Harassment Prevention for Supervisors in BC's Arts and Entertainment Workplaces on December 9 at 10 am PST.

At the end of this webinar session, utilizing the Supervisor’s Anti-Bullying and Harassment Incident Response Checklist, you will be aware of:

• Employer obligations (workplace policy statement, prevent or minimize bullying and harassment, develop reporting procedures and how to deal with/investigating incidents or complaints, train workers and supervisors)
• Legal obligations to prevent anti-bullying and harassment must report, and take reasonable steps (i.e., OHS policies sections 115, 116 and 117 of the Workers Compensation Act)
• Describing the role and duties of a supervisor (i.e., not engage in and follow the employer’s policy and procedures on bullying and harassment)
• Defining with clear examples of anti-bullying & harassment behaviour (i.e., verbal aggression) and what type of behaviour is not bullying and harassment (i.e., constructive feedback)
• Responding when incidents of anti-bullying & harassment occur/are reported in the workplace before engaging in an investigation (i.e., acknowledge complaint with empathy and sympathy, review existing policy/procedures, evaluate the type of complaint, set up meetings, etc.)

The webinar will have closed captioning available, and the recording will be sent to all those who register once it has been edited.
