Safe Harbour Program
Safe Harbour Program Welcomes and Protects Diversity
Safe Harbour: Respect for All is an award-winning diversity and inclusion education program for workplaces. We provide businesses, institutions and organizations with this online eLearning training to better understand the value of diversity and inclusion, address issues of discrimination in the workplace, and attract and retain a diverse workforce and clientele.
Why the Safe Harbour diversity and inclusion training?
It can be difficult to bring all staff and volunteers together for group in-person training. The Safe Harbour eLearning online course is a great way for more people to be able to participate and learn important concepts to support inclusive workplaces. We encourage employers who are purchasing the eLearning course to also create opportunities for follow-up discussion because the richest part of Safe Harbour training is having an opportunity to connect as a team and learn and share diverse perspectives.
