Since provisions relating to psychological harassment have been added to the Act respecting labour standards (CQLR, chapter N-1.1), many employers have adopted internal policies to manage these complaints. However, for many companies, the practical implementation of their policy remains a challenge, particularily when a complaint is filed.

In fact, it is not uncommon to hear the following questions raised equally by the Human Resources team, managers or upper management:
  • Do all conflicts in the workplace constitute harassment?
  • What is psychological harassment?
  • What are our obligations and how do we meet them?
  • What is the proper way to handle harassment complaints?
If you are asking yourself such questions, Relais Expert-Conseil can offer advanced training tailored to meet your needs and answer your specific questions.
