Harassment in the workplace
Do your teams understand the key nuances for preventing harassment and fostering a respectful workplace? Knowing what harassment is and how to identify it is the first step toward creating a healthy and harmonious professional environment. With this training, provide your team members with the tools to act confidently and promote a climate of respect and collaboration.
Why develop this skill?
Harassment, whether psychological or sexual, can deeply impact individuals and disrupt workplace harmony. As an employer or manager, it’s your responsibility to prevent these behaviours and create a healthy environment. This training helps your teams distinguish acceptable behaviours from those that are not, while reinforcing a culture of respect and civility. Taking proactive action not only protects individuals but also safeguards the organization’s reputation and productivity.
Expected outcomes
Clearly distinguish between psychological harassment, sexual harassment, management rights, and incivility.
Strengthen shared accountability to maintain a respectful workplace.
Identify appropriate prevention and intervention mechanisms for each situation.
Foster a healthy work environment.
Bills 27 and 42: Two complementary frameworks for preventing workplace harassment
Bill 27 – Preventing psychosocial risks
Since October 1, 2025, Bill 27 has strengthened Quebec employers’ obligations regarding the prevention of psychosocial risks, including those related to harassment. These risks must be addressed in the workplace prevention program or action plan, depending on the applicable requirements. By helping your teams recognize problematic behaviours and potentially harmful situations, this training contributes to building a culture of prevention and awareness in everyday working life.
Bill 42 – Strengthening harassment prevention and response
Bill 42 clarifies employers’ obligations regarding the prevention of psychological harassment and sexual violence in the workplace. It strengthens requirements related to harassment prevention policies, reporting mechanisms, and employee information and training programs. By raising awareness of different forms of harassment and how to respond appropriately, this training supports your efforts to maintain a healthy, respectful and safe work environment.
What you need to know about our training on preventing workplace harassment
Why take workplace harassment training?
Because no one should feel uncomfortable or unsafe at work. And yet, harassment—whether psychological, sexual, or part of a toxic work environment—can take many forms and have a lasting impact on both individuals and the organization.
Training is about taking action before it’s too late.

How can you effectively prevent workplace harassment?
A respectful workplace culture doesn’t happen on its own—it’s built intentionally. Prevention is the best strategy.
Our training helps to:
✔ Clarify what is and isn’t acceptable behaviour.
✔ Equip managers to intervene appropriately and professionally.
✔ Establish clear, accessible prevention mechanisms for everyone.
✔ Foster a culture of constructive feedback and mutual respect.
Preventing harassment means ensuring employees’ psychological safety and strengthening team cohesion.

How can this training support workplace prevention efforts under Bills 27 and 42?
Bills 27 and 42 strengthen workplace protections for employees, but they establish distinct obligations.
Under Bill 27, employers must identify psychosocial risks, including those related to harassment, and implement measures to prevent and control them. Bill 42, on the other hand, specifies requirements for preventing and addressing psychological harassment, particularly regarding workplace policies, reporting procedures, and employee information and training programs.
By helping participants distinguish psychological and sexual harassment from incivility or the legitimate exercise of management rights, recognize problematic behaviours and understand prevention and intervention mechanisms, this training supports organizations’ awareness-building efforts.
It serves as a complementary resource alongside the policies, procedures and other preventive measures employers must implement to meet their legal obligations and foster a healthy, respectful workplace.
