The template defines bullying, harassment, discrimination, and other inappropriate behaviour, explains the options available for reporting concerns, outlines investigation procedures, and describes how complaints will be managed, resolved, and protected from retaliation. It also includes drafting guidance to help organizations tailor the policy to their workplace and organizational structure.
