The Workplace: Where is it?

The Workplace: More than the four walls.

The Workplace means more than just the four walls of a building. Workplace harassment, bullying, discrimination and violence can occur anywhere the organization’s business is being conducted.

It includes any work-related interactions outside of the physical workplace like social functions, conferences, parking lots and social media, where harassment and discriminatory behaviour have or could have workplace repercussions

Examples

Conferences & Training

Events  Professional behaviour is expected wherever

Staff Parties & Social Events

Respectful conduct matters, even outside regular work hours.

Parking Lots & Common Areas

Interactions before or after work are still part of the workplace culture.

Online & Digital Spaces

Emails, chats, and social media tied to work can impact workplace relationships.

Remember: How you act in these settings can affect workplace relationships, reputation, and organizational culture.
