Workplace Harassment Prevention
Creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace is a shared responsibility between employers, supervisors, contractors, and employees. Workplace harassment can negatively affect an individual's mental health, physical wellbeing, job satisfaction, productivity, and professional relationships. Beyond its impact on individuals, harassment also contributes to increased absenteeism, staff turnover, legal disputes, reputational damage, and reduced organizational performance.
