Respect in Action:
Respectful Workplace & Harassment Prevention Training
everyday courtesies, meaningful impact
We believe respectful workplaces are built through everyday actions.
For nearly 30 years, our work has put us at the intersection of people, behaviour, and workplace law. We have seen first-hand how everyday behaviours that may seem insignificant, when left unaddressed, can lead to hurt feelings, misunderstandings, conflict and, ultimately, workplace complaints.
That experience is why we created Respect in Action.
We believe prevention begins with education. When people understand not only what the legislation says, but what it looks like in everyday interactions, they are better equipped to recognize concerns, understand their impact on others and make better choices when situations arise.
Respect in Action brings workplace legislation to life through realistic examples, case scenarios and decision points that reflect situations employees may encounter in today’s workplace.
Why Respect in Action Is Different
The thinking behind Respect in Action began with our experience at the Ontario Human Rights Commission and has continued through decades of workplace consulting, training, and neutral third-party investigations.
HR Proactive is not simply an eLearning provider. We continue to conduct neutral third-party investigations, giving us ongoing insight into the behaviours, grey areas and situations that employees and leaders can find difficult to interpret. Those insights help shape our training and keep it relevant to the realities of today’s workplace.
Our belief is simple: compliance sets the standard, but behaviour shapes the culture.
Respect in Action addresses all forms of harassment, including sexual harassment and bullying, while exploring respect and civility, inclusion, professional boundaries, and the role emotional intelligence plays in how we communicate, respond and interact with others.
Organizations use the program for employee onboarding, respectful workplace training, harassment prevention training, and organization-wide education to establish and reinforce expectations for appropriate conduct.
One Program.
customized to your legal landscape.
The principles of respect and appropriate conduct cross borders. The legislation does not.
Whether employees are located in Canada or the United States, we can customize the legal landscape section of Respect in Action to reflect applicable provincial, territorial or state requirements. This gives organizations with employees in multiple jurisdictions a consistent learning experience while addressing the legal requirements that apply where people work.
