The Business Landscape Has Shifted — Are You Ready?
Harmony in the Workplace is supporting the shift as a front-line training choice for progressive companies to meet industry best practices in keeping with the legal framework to create an innovative culture model that aligns and retains next generation talent.
We are in a social shift and it’s showing up in our media, in our neighbourhoods and in our workplaces. Gone are the days of “If you don’t like it here, just leave!”
Savvy employers know that they need to address toxic workplace issues related to sexual harassment, which can damage their brand, and incivility that can lead to bullying if left unchecked.
There is no better recruitment strategy, or competitive advantage, than a thriving organizational culture that is safe, inclusive and authentic.
Create a psychologically safe space where:
- employees feel safe to take interpersonal risk in expressing ideas and reporting mistakes and near misses
- innovation reigns and efficiencies are consistently improved upon
- a shared vision is well communicated and each individual contributes
- leaders and staff are free to be authentic and vulnerable

28% of workers surveyed reported that they have been on the receiving end of unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, or sexually-charged talk while on the job.
80% of those experiencing abuse are not reporting – with the main reason given being that they preferred to “deal with it on their own”
Other reasons respondents said they didn’t report included:
o Felt the issue was too minor
