Generic harassment training does not protect you when a complaint lands.
Ontario-specific, scenario-based training does.
OHSA and AODA both require specific training for Ontario employers. Most workplaces address this with a generic online module that no one remembers by Friday. Scenario-based training delivered by a practitioner with 15 years of Ontario and federal labour relations experience produces a different result, and closes the compliance gap with documentation to prove it.
When a harassment complaint goes to the HRTO, one of the first questions is whether the respondent received proper training. A completion record from a practitioner-delivered session holds up. A generic online module does not.

Practitioner-Delivered, Ontario-Specific
Generic harassment training that covers “what harassment is” and leaves it there does not change behaviour. Effective training puts managers in specific scenarios, a worker complains to them about a co-worker, a direct report is suddenly missing days, someone makes a comment in a meeting that makes another worker visibly uncomfortable, and works through what the manager should do, what they should document, and what they should not do.
Every Aegis 360 HR training program is built for your industry and workplace size and documented with participant sign-off for your OHSA compliance file.
