This workshop invites participants to go beyond the text of Ontario’s human rights legislation, exploring how legal requirements impact our daily work. Together, we will tackle critical questions such as: How do we recognize harassment or discrimination? When does behavior constitute a human rights violation? What constitutes a reasonable response to a complaint? How can we proactively prevent human rights violations from occurring?
Over the past two decades, the field of positive psychology has expanded rapidly, and one of the most discussed areas has been gratitude. We know that people who practice gratitude lead healthier lives both physically and emotionally. We also know that gratitude has a positive impact on both the workforce and workplace. Expressing and receiving gratitude at work directly and indirectly contributes to a culture of cooperative, motivated, and effective employees who give back and feel supported, appreciated, and recognized.

This workshop introduces leaders to neuro-inclusion. Leaders will learn how to integrate neuro-inclusive practices into their continual improvement strategies, so that neurodivergent individuals (including those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other cognitive differences) can participate on equal footing with their neurotypical peers. We will use the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach to take stock of barriers when it comes to neurodiversity in your teams, learn about short-term solutions, and dive deeper into legal accommodations.
