2.3 Human Resources Policies

Ensuring you have policies about discrimination, bullying, and harassment is important to create a safe and welcoming working environment for everyone. 

In this activity, you will write an anti-discrimination policy. 

Step One - Review this equal employment opportunity policy:

"All hiring, promotions, compensation, and other employment practices will occur without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability. All qualified individuals are given fair access to opportunities."

Anti-discrimination workplace policies are designed to promote equity, inclusion, and respect for all employees by addressing and preventing discriminatory behaviour. 

Step Two - Write an anti-discrimination policy for the workplace.

First, choose a policy topic: 

• Harassment-Free Workplace 
• Inclusive Language 
• Diversity and Inclusion 
• Pay Equity 

Next, explore the Child Care Human Resources Sector Council (CCHRSC) Diversity at Work page for ideas on what to consider when creating policies. 

Finally, write an anti-discrimination policy for the workplace using what you learned in this section. Use your journal as a place to write and reflect on the policy you create.
