Discrimination, harassment and bullying can be harmful in any environment, but when these things occur in the workplace, it can impact a person's emotional well-being and professional performance.
With help from the Canadian Red Cross, those in need can learn how to recognize these hurtful behaviors and gain the skills needed to respond in a healthy and beneficial way.

The impact of workplace violence
Every person has the right to feel safe and secure in the workplace. When someone becomes the target of sexual harassment or bullying at the office, it can be a frightening and confusing occurrence.
Offered by the Canadian Red Cross, "Respect in the Workplace" is an online course that is designed to help business owners, employers and managers create a healthy and more productive job environment by better understanding the risks and warning signs of workplace violence.
Through this program, employees can also gain a greater sense of their rights while in the office. "Respect in the Workplace" teaches participants that all places of work should be free from discrimination, bullying and harassment - those that are can leave employees feeling happier, protected and productive. By embracing policies that oppose workplace violence, employers can boost morale and improve retention rates.
