Creating a workplace where people feel safe to speak up is essential for preventing incidents, strengthening teamwork, and supporting a healthy safety culture. When identity-based harassment, bullying, and exclusion go unaddressed, they can erode trust, discourage reporting, and increase risks for everyone. This webinar will look at how these behaviours affect communication, reporting, team performance, and safety, with practical insights for recognizing the difference between interpersonal conflict and patterns of behaviour that create unsafe working environments.

This is a free webinar offered as part of the “Empowering 2SLGBTQIA+ Workers in Energy” project, funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada.
