According
to a Conference Board of Canada report, developing
strategies to deal with a heterogeneous work force should be a top
organizational priority over the next few years. In the reality of
our multi-cultural society, creating and maintaining a Respectful
Workplace culture is a critical pillar of organizational success.
A
Respectful Workplace is one where, by definition, issues of
discrimination, harassment and bullying occur with far less
frequency because they are at odds with the established
organizational culture and values. In a Respectful Workplace
culture, when complaints do arise, they are dealt with quickly and
locally, minimizing organization disruption and associated costs.
Managing
human rights, bullying and conflict in the workplace has both a
reactive and a proactive component. Employers must be in a
position to react appropriately when complaints arise in the
workplace. Employees that are disabled or become disabled must be
accommodated as dictated by human rights legislation. In addition,
if your bottom line is important to you, you will want to take
proactive steps to ensure compliance with Human Rights law,
minimize your potential liability, and create a respectful,
productive workplace culture that values diversity.
