HUMAN RIGHTS
is never bad for business.
There are no winners in a human rights investigation.
Regardless of the outcome, investigations are long-running ordeals that decimate operating budgets, diminish employee morale and performance and downgrade board and investor confidence.
What if it never had to get to this?
What if, by taking a proactive approach to workplace policy and culture, we could dramatically reduce the need for external investigations?

I HELP ORGANIZATIONS CREATE RESPECT-CENTRIC™ WORKPLACES WHERE HUMAN BEINGS AND BOTTOM LINES THRIVE.
As an educator, facilitator and human rights lawyer with 10 years of experience in workplace investigations, I am passionate about helping progressive leaders create cultures where respect and civility is a non-negotiable, both in policy and practice. I am equally enthusiastic about sharing my expertise and experience with skeptics and naysayers as I hold strong that the interests of employers, employees, clients, customers and shareholders all benefit from a respect-based workplace environment.

THE CULTURE YOUR ORGANIZATION WANTS AND NEEDS
It’s one thing to create mission and vision statements that espouse respect as a core value. It’s another to lead an organization where this is reality.
I’ve come to realize no workplace complaint exists in isolation: it’s a symptom of the culture. Conflicts arise when individuals lack the knowledge, tools and real-time responses to nip questionable behaviour in the bud. All too often, there are serious barriers to people coming forward. Complaints that could have been resolved in the moment fester and escalate into full-blown external investigations. I help organizations recover from investigations and reposition themselves in a sustainable way. Even better, where there’s been no investigation, but an organization acknowledges their workplace environment is not living up to their mission and vision. We hit the ground running, seal up gaps and launch initiatives that are truly impactful.
