Organizations must ensure occupational health and safety, prevent workplace violence and harassment, support employees’ psychological safety and mental health, and advance comfort and wellbeing for all employees.

Does your organization have practices that ensure the safety of employees of all genders when in the workplace, commuting to work, visiting clients, or travelling for work (e.g. check-in devices or procedures, security guards, transportation services, visible parking lot, security cameras)?

Has your organization implemented clear, confidential, and reprisal-free mechanisms for reporting, documenting, and recording cases of workplace discrimination and violence, including gender-based violence (e.g. anonymous grievance systems, employee protection, or whistle-blower policies)?

Does your organization have a zero-tolerance policy against all forms of workplace discrimination and violence, including gender-based violence?

How does your organization prevent workplace discrimination and violence, including gender-based violence?

Has your organization included gender awareness for all staff and employees as part of wellbeing and safety training (e.g. gender-based violence and harassment, postpartum mental health)?

Does your organization’s wellbeing and safety decision-making team accurately and proportionally represent its workforce population?

How does your organization ensure that workplace wellbeing and safety responds to the needs of employees of all genders?

How does your organization ensure that all workplace wellbeing and safety policies recognize and protect sex and gender differences (e.g. mental health, muscular-skeletal, reproductive health, hygiene, security, comfort)?
