Workplace Sexual Harassment: Know Your Rights!
Sexual harassment continues to plague workplaces, with around half of Canadian women reporting they’ve experienced it. What does sexual harassment really look like on the job, and what can you do if you encounter it? Learn to recognize what constitutes workplace sexual harassment and understand both your rights as a worker and your employer’s legal obligations. This workshop will also provide guidance on how you can access free legal advice. This workshop is aimed at empowering you by helping you understand your rights, access support services, and create safer workplaces for everyone.
Presented by SHARP Workplaces.
