Bullying

Workplace bullying is the repeated, unreasonable behaviour directed at an individual or group that poses a risk to health and safety. Occupational violence, a form of bullying, involves physical attacks or threats in the workplace. At AKD, no form of bullying will ever be tolerated, condoned, or ignored. We are committed to providing a safe environment for all employees, because “It’s not part of the job.”

Harassment

Harassment includes any unwelcome behaviour that can make someone feel offended, humiliated, or intimidated. This can take many forms, including sexual, discriminatory, physical, verbal, psychological, and online harassment. At AKD, harassment has no place. We are dedicated to fostering a workplace where respect is the standard and everyone understands to “Know where the line is.”
