Program Description:
This webinar brings together management-side labour and employment lawyers from across Canada who will address one of the most pressing issues facing education employers today: sexual indecencies and indiscretions in the workplace. These types of on-campus offences unfortunately tend to attract high-profile media attention, which can in turn have catastrophic consequences for educational institutions, including the degradation of workplace morale, program quality and institutional brand. The speakers will offer higher education employers guidance and best practices for proactively and decisively addressing the following workplace issues:
-
Sexual harassment –employers’ obligations, responsibilities, and valuable lessons learned from recent cases.
-
Workplace romances – are anti-fraternization policies a good idea? What type of conduct can an employer legitimately prohibit in the workplace?
-
Off duty conduct – when do an employee’s off-duty indiscretions become an employer’s concern?
