The Commission works with community groups, employers, and others interested in human rights. It tries to get the word out through the media, through public service announcements, speaking engagements and public events. The Commission also takes advantage of technologies, like the Internet, to ensure that as many people as possible, from coast to coast, have access to information about human rights.

Next Steps

The Commission is committed to a broader strategy of prevention that seeks to work with federally regulated organizations and assist them in putting in place a culture of human rights in the workplace.

The Commission is proposing that departments as well as federally regulated employers should ensure that their internal responsibility systems dealing with conflicts in the workplace are consistent with human rights. Employers should train managers and employees, and ensure strong workplace policies and awareness of human rights standards and remedies to prevent human rights abuses.
