A Safe and Welcoming Workplace
A safe and welcoming workplace creates an environment where all employees are valued, included, treated with respect,
and reasonably free from physical and psychological danger.
A safe and welcoming workplace can be created by:
● Including appropriate onboarding and training, establishing policies and procedures that clearly outline the
company’s culture and values, defining performance expectations, and providing equitable opportunities for
professional growth and/or advancement.
● Maintaining a work environment that prohibits all forms of harassment, discrimination, and racism by ensuring
that effective policies are in place both for reporting and responding to any incidents that may occur.
● Recognizing that newcomers may require additional levels of support upon arrival, such as language or skill
building, a community orientation, and/or a mentorship program, that help to set newcomers up for successful
integration into the workplace and community.
