BOWEN Group is the first Canadian staffing firm to become Respect Certified.
Respect Certification equips employees with the education and skills needed to address bullying, abuse, harassment and discrimination (BAHD) to create a safe workplace and make good people better. The training also enhances workplace productivity, communication, culture and morale.
With every BOWEN Group team member certified and trained in creating a psychologically-safe work environment, the company is strengthening its mission to make people matter through leading recruitment and contractor management services across Canada.
“I applaud BOWEN Group for creating organizational confidence within the area of BAHD by becoming a Respect Certified organization,” says Sheldon Kennedy, Co-Founder, Respect Group. “Our best defense is an empowered bystander and we are proud to partner with BOWEN Group.”
People want to be involved with organizations that demonstrate respect. Often, vision or mission statements include the word “respect.” However, few organizations have empowered and equipped all members of their team with the necessary tools and training to ensure a positive and psychologically safe environment. By eliminating bullying, abuse, harassment and discrimination (BAHD), we’re all inspiring a global culture of respect.
