Respectful Workplace Training Overview

Overview

Empower your employees with the knowledge they need to contribute to a healthy and respectful workplace.

If you are trying to create or maintain a more respectful workplace, research confirms that training your employees is important — and not just any training, but interactive training that is customized to your workplace. At Rubin Thomlinson, we design all of our workshops with this in mind.

Our training is unique. As lawyers, we understand that there are key things that your employees need to know, from a legislative or legal perspective. Moreover, as professional trainers, we understand that training by lawyers can often be boring (right?). Our training provides a perfect marriage between delivering key contents and engaging your people. It is designed to have an impactmake people think, and prompt them to adjust their behaviour after the session. Content is specifically focused on core concepts that are easy to understand, and participants learn through both individual and group exercises.

Responding to Workplace Concerns – Lessons for Leaders
We know that many leaders struggle when employees bring concerns about inappropriate workplace behaviour to their attention.

This workshop was designed specifically to address these challenges.

ADVANCED WORKSHOP
Civility in the Workplace
A respectful workplace is more than just one that is free from harassment and discrimination. Employees truly thrive in those workplaces where they feel like they belong, and civility is a critical component for creating this key sense of belonging. This course looks at the “everyday bumps and bruises” of the workplace and is designed to turn attendees’ attention inward to focus on and consider their own behaviour.
