Equity Policies

Ensuring that employees, volunteers and clients are not discriminated or harassed because they have one or more of the 17 protected characteristics in Nova Scotia is only the beginning. Leaders are increasingly called upon to foster environments that are accessible and inclusive, as well as account for systemic discrimination. 

Effective September 1, 2025, employers are required to comply with recent amendments to the Occupational Health & Safety Act. Employers must have a Harassment Prevention Policy and the legal definition of "Safety" will include psych safety. We can help ensure your organization is ready for these legislative changes.  

It doesn't matter whether your organization is small or large, formal or informal, for- or non-profit - you still have to follow the law. Whether your policy manual is 6 pages or 160 pages, we can help ensure you're compliant and up-to-date. We can also help you shape organizational culture and reduce conflicts by naming norms and expectations in policy.
