Respect and Inclusion in the Workplace: Online Training
Diversity and inclusion are about embracing the many ways we differ from each other. This includes factors like ethnicity, culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and sexual identity. This self-paced online training focuses on practical strategies that foster respectful workplaces. Respect and Inclusion in the Workplace is endorsed by Safety Services Canada as an important component of occupational health and safety training.
