Working with Your Harassment Code of Practice (2/2)

In 2019, WorksafeNB mandated that all New Brunswick employers put in place a Workplace Harassment Code of Practice. Most New Brunswick employers now have written Codes of Practice but many still feel unsure about how to operationalize them to meet their regulatory responsibilities. In this session, participants will get comfortable with the terminology and language used in their own Codes of Practice and learn how to meet WorksafeNB’s expectation around implementation when an employee complaint is received. All from a practical, plain language perspective.

By the end of this workshop participants will be able to: 

• Verify that all 8 regulatory requirements are included in your Code of Practice, 
• Inform the different kinds of people in your workplace about your Code of Practice, 
• Describe the regulatory requirement to act on a disclosure of harassment, 
• Recognize and react appropriately to a disclosure of harassment, 
• Address harassment complaints involving individuals who are not you employees or volunteers, 
• Decide between an internal and external investigation of harassment, and 
• Conduct an internal investigation, as described in your Code of Practice.

This workshop is the second part of the workshop ​”Understanding Workplace Harassment”
