Respect means that we acknowledge and value differing perspectives. A respectful environment contributes to creativity, innovation in problem-solving and promotes a workplace of engagement. Yet, creating and maintaining a respectful and inclusive environment presents its challenges. This interactive workshop will provide a clearer understanding of the concepts of inclusion, differences, respect, power and privilege, prejudice, discrimination and harassment. It will also share tools and techniques for fostering a respectful and inclusive environment.

Guided by the Centre for Human Rights at York University, this lunch and learn will be an opportunity to foster dialogue among colleagues and peers regarding challenges faced in the workplace as well as opportunities and solutions others have found helpful.

We also encourage taking the online Respect, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI) Tutorial if you have not already had the chance.

Bring your lunch and join your colleagues and learn about respect and inclusion in the workplace!

Please register for the workshop. Light refreshments will be provided for registered participants.
