October is Canada’s Healthy Workplace Month! A healthy workplace is more than a nice atmosphere or a team that gets along. It’s a workplace where people feel respected, supported, safe to speak up, and confident that concerns will be taken seriously.

Here are 5 signs of a healthy workplace:

💬People feel safe speaking up.
Employees can ask questions, share concerns, disagree, or raise an issue without fear of retaliation or being dismissed.

💬Respect is part of the culture.
People are treated with dignity regardless of their role, identity, background, or position within the organization.

💬Boundaries are respected.
Healthy workplaces recognize that everyone has limits, and those boundaries are respected around communication, workload, time, and personal space.

💬 Concerns are taken seriously.
When someone experiences or witnesses harmful behaviour, there are clear ways to report it and people know they will be listened to and supported.

💬Leaders model healthy behaviour.
Creating a healthy workplace starts at the top. Leaders set the tone by communicating respectfully, addressing harmful behaviour, and taking responsibility for workplace culture.

At SHIFT, we know that preventing workplace harassment starts with understanding what healthy workplaces look like, and recognizing when something isn’t right.

💬Throughout Phase 2 of the First Step Symposium, our community conversations brought forward thoughtful perspectives, shared experiences, and a strong commitment to reducing the harm of workplace harassment.

Bringing together people with different experiences and expertise reminded us that meaningful change happens when we listen, learn, and work together. The conversations may have wrapped up from phase two, but the work is far from over!

What we heard will help shape the next phase of this work, and we’re grateful to everyone who contributed their time, knowledge, and voice along the way.

There’s still a lot to do. But there’s also real momentum, and we’re excited about what comes next. Stay tuned for Phase 3. Details coming soon!

💬World Mental Health Day 2026: “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.”

This year’s theme reminds us that listening to lived experience is only the beginning.

By listening to Islanders who have experienced workplace sexual harassment, we can better understand the impacts on mental health and help shape more responsive resources and support.

Stay tuned for more information of phase 3 of our First Step Symposium! We are very excited to share these new and exciting resources with you.

💬Our three Island wide community consultations rolled out last week in Prince Edward Island, and we are still so moved by the depth and quality of the conversations around reducing the harm of workplace harassment.

There’s something powerful about bringing people together who are deeply committed to creating change, especially when that room is filled with people who work alongside those most impacted by workplace harassment.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared openly, and helped move this conversation forward. Your experiences, expertise, and commitment are an important part of building safer, healthier workplaces across PEI.

There is a lot of work ahead, but there is also a lot of momentum. And that feels worth celebrating. Stay tuned for phase 3!

🟥Please take a moment today to read these excerpts from The National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Link to the full report is in our bio.

"First Nations, Inuit, and Métis women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Canada have been the targets of violence for far too long. This truth is undeniable. The fact that this National Inquiry is happening now doesn’t mean that Indigenous Peoples waited this long to speak up; it means it took this long for Canada to listen."

▪️

"Understanding why women and girls are sacred through various Indigenous perspectives is an important part of seeing Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people as rights holders.

It is also a starting point to addressing some of the historical and contemporary negative encounters that incite violence or create harmful spaces for those who are so important. What roles and responsibilities do women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people have?"

▪️

"What happens to their communities when they’re taken away? And how can understanding why women and girls are sacred help us understand how to create new, healing encounters, founded upon stories handed down over generations?

Women and girls are sacred; they carry their Peoples and their communities with them. Without them, whole communities suffer. "

👉A culture of silence doesn't protect people, it protects problems.

No one should have to suffer in silence or face preventable harm because of inadequate policies or insufficient training.

The SHIFT Project is building tools and supports to reduce workplace harassment across PEI, from unwanted comments and jokes to more serious violations. Your voice matters.
