In the current global and local political climate, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives are increasingly being sidelined or canceled altogether. This is partially due to the fact that the connection between EDI and workplace conflict, specifically discrimination, harassment, and violence, is often overlooked, misunderstood, or dismissed. Consequently, this oversight can increase the risk of occupational health and safety issues and potentially result in financial costs and legal repercussions to organizations.

This webinar will focus on the “E” of EDI and human rights and discuss:

1. The potential consequences of excluding equity and human rights in organizational policies and practices
2. How equity and human rights are essential tools to prevent workplace conflict and manage associated risks
3. Employer rights and obligations
