This part will help you understand some common questions people have about workplace violence and harassment.
Answer: If you see harassment, it's important to speak up. You can tell a manager, supervisor, or any trusted person at work. Your voice can help stop bad behaviour.
Answer: No, you won't get in trouble. It's your right to report harassment, and the company can't punish you for it.
Answer: If you're not sure, it's better to talk to someone you trust at work or a supervisor. They can help you figure out if it's harassment and what to do next.
Answer: The time it takes can vary depending on how complex the situation. But the company will try to resolve it as quickly and fairly as possible. If an outside investigation is required it can sometimes take several weeks to complete.
Answer: Every situation is different so the person could face different consequences, like a warning, training, or even losing their job.
Answer: Even if it's your boss, you should still report it. You can talk to HR or another manager you trust. If there is nobody that you feel you can speak to in the workplace, the contact details for the third-party investigator are available inside the policy.
Answer: Yes, you can report without giving your name. But it might make the investigation harder if we cannot allow someone to respond to your specific complaint.
