If you are interested in improving civility and respect in your workplace,
WSPS has carefully curated a selection of resources for you to explore:
• On the Agenda is a free series of workshop materials and facilitator
tools created by Workplace Strategies for Mental Health to address
all 13 workplace factors. Use Putting Civility and Respect on the
Agenda to focus on factor 4, civility and respect.
• The Mental Health Commission of Canada has created a helpful
guide titled A Practical Toolkit to Help Employers Build an
Inclusive Workforce. This resource is meant to help those with
human resources, wellness and diversity responsibilities increase
accessibility and inclusiveness in their workplace and to address
the needs of workers living with mental illness. Because recruitment,
retention and support policies and practices affect everyone, the
toolkit draws on the insights of workers with experience of mental
illness as well as their co-workers and managers.
• British Columbia Public Service released guidelines on using
inclusive language in the workplace titled Words Matter, which
includes guiding principles and suggestions to support using
inclusive language in the workplace. The guide explains that
talking about inclusive language welcomes diverse people into
conversations and offers the potential to deepen understanding
and connection.
• WSPS has created a Workplace Violence and Harassment Toolbox
which contains information, tools and assessments that can be
useful to employers as they identify hazards and risks related to
preventing violence and harassment.
