Discrimination can have a profound impact on the physical and mental health of employees, as well as their motivation and engagement in the workplace. In this webinar, a panel of experts will provide practical guidance on how employers and unions can foster a work environment that ensures the full and fair participation of employees.

  • What is systemic racism and how does it differ from individual racism? How have systemic barriers to recruitment, retention, and promotion been remedied in recent caselaw?
  • Is a culture of lax enforcement of respectful conduct a defense to an allegation of harassment? What impact does an organization’s culture have on the impact on people’s ability to raise complaints of harassment and discrimination?
  • Can employees’ benefits be cut back upon retirement?
  • To what extent must the childcare or elder care needs of employees be taken into account by employers?
  • Are employers entitled to ask employees details about their medical conditions rather than about restrictions on their ability to perform their duties? What length must employers go to in accommodating employees’ disabilities?
  • What are the required features of an effective workplace policy on discrimination?
