Working with Your Harassment Code of Practice

In 2019, WorkSafeNB mandated that all New Brunswick employers implement a Workplace Harassment Code of Practice. While most organizations now have a written Code, many remain unsure about how to effectively implement it in day-to-day operations — especially when responding to employee complaints.

This practical, plain-language workshop is designed to help employers understand how to operationalize their Code of Practice and meet regulatory requirements with confidence.

Participants will learn to:

• Verify that all 8 regulatory requirements are included in their Code of Practice
• Communicate the Code of Practice effectively to all relevant workplace groups
• Describe the obligation to act on a disclosure of harassment
• Recognize and respond appropriately to harassment disclosures
• Address complaints involving individuals outside of the organization (e.g., clients, contractors)
• Determine when to use internal vs. external investigations
• Conduct internal investigations in line with the organization’s Code of Practice

Note: This is the second workshop in the Understanding Workplace Harassment series. Participants are encouraged to complete Part 1 before attending this session.

Can be an online or in-person workshop — 2 hours
