Human Rights Policies for Employers

Human Rights Policies for Employers in Western Canada

Human rights law and policy is now an integral part of every workplace in Canada. At Taylor Janis, our lawyers are here to work with your company to develop a healthy workplace culture.

Through well-defined policies, both management and staff alike will understand how human rights issues affect their workplace. As every company will eventually experience a human rights problem, we will be at your side to quickly and thoroughly develop a strategy to solve the problem, through tactful negotiation or representation before a tribunal or a court.
