Sexual Harassment in the Canadian Workplace
Sexual harassment has no place in any Canadian workplace, yet it remains one of the most common and most under-reported issues workers face. Left unaddressed, it can cause lasting psychological and emotional harm, damage careers, and expose employers to serious legal liability under human rights and occupational health and safety legislation. Training helps everyone recognize harassment early, understand their rights and responsibilities, and respond appropriately. In this course, learners will explore how sexual harassment is defined under Canadian law, the four main forms it takes, the reporting and complaint process, protections against retaliation, and the important role bystanders play in creating a respectful workplace.

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.
How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?
When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
