Ontario Public Service Review of the Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Prevention Program and Related Components of the Respectful Workplace Policy


Project Summary:

This project involves a whole-of-government program evaluation on behalf of the Cabinet Office and the Government of Ontario of the Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Prevention (WDHP) Program and related components of the Respectful Workplace Policy (RWP).

Project Description:

The purpose of the whole-of-government review of the WDHP Program and related components of the RWP through an intersectional anti-racism perspective (with particular attention to anti-Indigenous and anti-Black racisms) are twofold:
1. assess the extent to which the current policy and complaint process are addressing and meeting the concerns of Indigenous, Black, and racialized employees and identify any patterns or trends in the processing of race-based complaints; and
2. make recommendations on what improvements are needed to the WDHP Program and related components of the RWP, including how direct, indirect, and systemic race-based discrimination issues can be identified, monitored, and resolved.
