The damages are larger, the duty to investigate is written into law, and leaders are being held personally accountable. One afternoon on prevention, policy, response and consequences.

Sexual harassment remains one of the most damaging and most litigated issues in the Canadian workplace, and the consequences keep growing. Human rights awards are larger, health and safety law imposes a duty to investigate, and leaders are being held personally accountable.
The risk has also moved beyond the office. Harassment happens over text and direct message, at off-site events, and at the hands of clients, customers and members of the public.
Unwelcome takes HR, legal and safety leaders through the full arc of the issue: prevention, policy, response and consequences.
Running prevention programs, training and the first response to a complaint.
Advising on human rights exposure, investigations, discipline and settlements.
Meeting OHS harassment program, training and investigation requirements.
Running investigations that hold up when they're challenged.
A keynote and four 45-minute sessions with live Q&A. We're in the call-for-speakers stage, so session titles and descriptions are proposed and may change as speakers are confirmed. All times ET.
From growing human rights damages to leadership accountability: the decisions and legislative changes shaping employer liability, and what they mean for your organization.

What health and safety law requires of a harassment program, and how to build training that counts as evidence when your response is challenged.
Speaker to be announced

Speaker to be announced
Harassment by senior leaders, by third parties such as clients and customers, and over text, chat and social media.

Unwelcome is presented jointly across HR News Canada, HR Law Canada and Safety News Canada. Sponsors reach the HR, legal and safety leaders who write harassment policies, run investigations and decide what happens next.
It's a natural fit for workplace investigation firms, respectful workplace training providers, employment law firms, and confidential reporting and hotline platforms.
The half-day format fits how professionals attend: one sitting, no travel, one registration. Every registrant receives the recording, so sponsor exposure continues well after the live event.
