Do you dread going to work?  Do you feel anxiety rising as you go to your job?

Do you lie awake at night and worry about what’s happening in your workplace? 

Given that 45% of Canadian workers report being bullied on the job every week, and 52% of women report being sexually harassed while at work, it’s not surprising if you, or someone close to you is experiencing workplace abuse.

“Meet Ruthann” –

Hi, I'm Ruthann Weeks, Principal Consultant at Harmony In The Workplace.  I founded my business after experiencing workplace bullying.  The toxic environment was affecting me mentally, emotionally, and physically.  I am passionate about raising awareness and helping to empower those experiencing workplace bullying and harassment.

 

Do you want more information about your workplace rights and employer obligations related to workplace bullying, sexual harassment and psychological safety?  Would you like to learn some practical self-care techniques you can implement right away?

 

Introducing: 

When Work Hurts™: The Toxic Workplace

A master class that teaches you how to respond to workplace abuse

Ruthann did more than just deal with the current issue I was facing, as we worked together, I learned skills so I would never be in this predicament again. I learned my workplace rights and that we all deserve to be in a safe and healthy work environment.
— D. Macaulay, workshop attendee
 

There are laws in place to help keep people safe at work, but often in toxic work environments, employees are not aware of their rights.

What you will learn:

  • Employee rights and employer obligations in workplace safety related to bullying, harassment, psychological safety, and domestic violence

  • How to recognize if your workplace is toxic

  • Build a case and approach HR or your supervisor with confidence

  • What to expect in a typical incident investigation

  • Where to turn if the issue is not resolved

  • Self-care techniques to help preserve your physical and mental health

Do you feel isolated and alone in your abusive situation?  Would it be helpful to talk with others who have experienced workplace bullying or sexual harassment? You are not alone! Share information and resources in a private Facebook group.

 
I really valued the statistical data that was shared, knowing the numbers helped me relate better. Ruthann delivers training on difficult topics with common sense, logic, a calm, straight-forward demeanor and kindness. The private Facebook group is a safe place to connect with others and share resources and support.
