Human rights & accommodation
The duty to accommodate is among the most challenging workplace legal issues that HR and managers will face.
In our Meeting the Duty to Accommodate program, our employment law specialists will break down the duty to accommodate and empower you to handle these challenging situations. But there’s more to human rights than accommodation! Our human rights programs also help HR and managers confront unconscious biases and proactively create policies, that promote workplace equity and avoid unintentional discrimination.

Workplace restoration and transformation
Workplace interactions are difficult, and sometimes teams rupture and become dysfunctional. We have developed a comprehensive, multi-step program for analyzing and transforming toxic teams.
Our services include:
Workplace culture assessments
Diagnosing the problem is the first step to solving it. Through compassionate, confidential interviews combined with focus groups and surveys, we dig to the root of difficult team dynamics and provide actionable recommendations.
Mediation
We help resolve workplace conflicts. Our mediators will guide employees to understand each other’s needs, move past their differences, and forge solutions that will allow them to work together productively in the future.
Psychological health and safety
We’ll support you to implement the National Standard on Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace, a proactive blueprint to create thriving workplace cultures. It’s not just a wellness exercise; it’s a good legal practice, and it helps the bottom line, too.
Sensitivity training
Sometimes, breakthroughs can be easier to make one-on-one. Our sensitivity training guides individuals to understand the impact of their behaviour and learn more professional ways of working with others, in a respectful and supportive environment.
