Ensuring an Inclusive Workplace (Half Day)
With today’s ever-changing workplace, an employer must ensure that their site has a strong focus on inclusion of different genders and ethnic backgrounds. Employers that assert a positive working environment will be more profitable, safer and avoid the costly complications that come with discrimination, poor culture, poor mental health and workplace conflict.
Topics covered:
• Importance of inclusive workplaces
• Asserting organizational expectations of inclusive workplaces
• Understanding harassment and respectful behaviour
• Identify respectful behaviour
• Case study activities
Instructor: Jeffrey Cartwright's background includes 25 years experience working as a paramedic, firefighter and in the field of trauma response. He joined the New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services in August of 1995 after 3 years with BC Ambulance Service. He was promoted to qualified officer in 2009, and has since been confirmed to the ranks of Lieutenant, Captain and acting Battalion Chief. He joined the Critical Incident Stress Management team in 2000. He has developed many initiatives for the team members by introducing them to the latest techniques and training. Jeffrey has transferred his skills to the private sector to facilitate training in the prevention of, and response to, traumatic events that can occur in any workplace.
