What You Will Learn in Harassment Training

This harassment training moves beyond a basic list of prohibited behaviours and forms part of a complete online respectful workplace program. Learners examine the conditions that help concerns develop or escalate, including unclear expectations, inconsistent supervision, ineffective reporting routes, weak follow-up and unaddressed violence risks.

Participants learn how to recognize respectful, disrespectful, harassing and violent behaviour; how to distinguish reasonable management action from behaviour that may be harassment; and how to respond without dismissing a concern or making premature conclusions. The course also explains psychological safety, the Internal Responsibility System, privacy, procedural fairness and the importance of timely corrective action.

• Recognize harassment, bullying, threats, intimidation and workplace violence.
• Identify cultural and operational conditions that increase risk.
• Use practical prevention strategies and accessible reporting routes.
• Apply violence risk controls to higher-risk work, locations and interactions.
• Receive concerns respectfully and document facts neutrally.
• Understand the importance of fair, timely and trauma-aware processes.
• Support affected people and teams after a report or incident.
• Verify that corrective actions remain effective over time.

Harassment Training Course Format and Assessments

The harassment training course contains four modules and 16 sequenced lessons. Each lesson includes matched video instruction, clear learning objectives, a realistic workplace application and key takeaways. A three-question knowledge check follows every lesson and requires a score of 100%. The six-question final assessment requires a score of 80%.

Most learners should allow approximately 7.5 to 8.5 hours, including more than six hours of video, assessments and review. Linear progression helps ensure that learners complete the foundation before moving to more complex prevention, response and recovery topics.

After successful completion, learners receive a Certificate of Completion. Employers can retain the certificate with their training records, while the downloadable Student Reference Guide provides a practical review document for later use.

Who This Respectful Workplace Course Is For

The online respectful workplace training course is designed for people who influence culture, direct work or may receive a concern. It is particularly relevant for managers, supervisors, HR teams, safety professionals, business owners, committee members, project leaders and forepersons.

Organizations may use the course during supervisor orientation, leadership development, policy rollout, program improvement or corrective-action follow-up. It is suitable for office, construction, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, retail, hospitality, municipal, public-sector, energy and remote-work settings.

The course presents broadly applicable Canadian prevention principles, but detailed legal duties vary by jurisdiction. Employers must still provide workplace-specific information about their policy, reporting contacts, emergency procedures, hazards, controls, investigation process and available support.

Why Harassment Training and Respectful Leadership Matter

Harassment and violence can affect far more than the people directly involved. Unresolved concerns may contribute to absence, turnover, grievances, claims, disrupted work, damaged client relationships and loss of employee confidence. A weak response can also make workers less likely to report future hazards.

Credible harassment training and prevention improve both safety and business performance. Leaders who understand their role can intervene earlier, preserve better information, select proportionate controls and communicate expectations consistently. Those practices strengthen due diligence and produce better evidence during audits, investigations and program reviews.

For current guidance, review the Government of Canada harassment and violence prevention information, the Alberta OHS workplace violence and harassment guidance, and the CCOHS violence and harassment resources.
