Effective June 2010, employers must proactively prevent and control the risk of workplace violence and harassment. This includes providing education and information for all employees.
In recognition of May being Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the Chamber has invited Elise Hineman, Executive Director of the Sexual Assault Centre for Quinte & District and Chris Blackburn, Course Instructor with The Safety Guys - Work Place Safety Trainers to facilitate this Lunch & Learn event.
The event will be a short presentation followed by an informative interactive roundtable discussing the growing problem of sexual harassment in the workplace. We will work through different scenarios, discuss employers responsibilities, and how to appropriately handle different situations in a small business setting.
This event is free to our members and their employees.
You may bring your own lunch, or support our host establishment, Sans Souci by ordering lunch upon arrival.
Registration is required to secure your seat.
