Free Webinar sponsored by Charity Village: Get ready for Ontario's new workplace legislation, August 25/16

business_conference6.jpg Ontario's Bill 132 regarding Harassment and Sexual Violence takes effect in Ontario on September 8. Is your organization ready to comply with this new legislation? Find out at a free webinar. 

Workplace harassment, sexual harassment, bullying or violence is never acceptable. But it happens every day, which is why the Ontario government has introduced new legislation to the Occupational Health and Safety Act. This free webinar will help you understand this new legislation and show you what your organization needs to do to be in compliance.

Free webinar information:
Topic: Get ready for Ontario's new harassment and sexual violence legislation

Date: Thursday, August 25 at 1pm Eastern Time / 10am Pacific Time (one hour)

Cost: Free - Space is limited so register early to avoid disappointment.

Skill Level: Introductory. 
Are we living in a social economy, or a precarious one?

However it's defined, people need the hard and soft skills to thrive in this new economy. Progressive education has a
critical role in preparing the next generation of workers, but it's just one piece. 

A range of supportive policies and programs is absolutely necessary if the supply and demand of the evolving job market are to be aligned - if Canadians, young and not so young, are to find meaningful places in the increasingly global employment market.
