Create a Fair & Equitable Workplace
Build a workplace where fairness, respect, and accountability guide every decision. Gain the practical knowledge, policies, and tools to create a positive, compliant, and people-focused business.
The way people are treated within a business shapes everything, from employee engagement and trust to productivity, reputation, and long-term success. Creating a fair and equitable workplace isn't simply about complying with legislation; it's about building a culture where people feel respected, valued, and accountable.
Whether you own a small business, lead a growing team, manage people, or work in Human Resources, this practical course provides the knowledge, guidance, and resources to help you create workplaces where fairness becomes part of everyday decision-making.
Throughout this course, you'll gain a practical understanding of the policies, procedures, and workplace practices that support consistent, ethical, and legally sound people management. You'll explore every stage of the employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding through performance management, discipline, workplace wellbeing, and employment termination.
You'll also learn how to navigate many of today's most important workplace topics, including employment equity, sexual harassment, workplace health and safety, HIV/AIDS, pregnancy in the workplace, whistleblowing, inclusion, dress codes, and other essential codes of good practice that help businesses create respectful and productive working environments.
To help you put your learning into practice, the course includes a comprehensive collection of practical resources, including:
- HR policies and procedures covering recruitment, onboarding, performance management, poor performance, disciplinary processes, health and safety, termination, and more
- Practical templates and forms designed to support fair, consistent, and professional decision-making
- Codes of good practice addressing key workplace responsibilities and expectations
- A bonus guide showing you how to confidently develop clear and effective workplace policies for your own business
Rather than simply explaining what good workplace practices look like, this course gives you practical tools you can implement immediately, helping you create consistency, reduce risk, strengthen employee relationships, and build a positive workplace culture.
When people know they will be treated fairly, expectations become clearer, trust grows stronger, and businesses perform better.
If you're committed to building a business where fairness, respect, accountability, and professionalism guide every decision, this course will provide the knowledge and practical resources to help you do exactly that.

Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Jen Breakey.
For more than 30 years, I've worked with businesses, leaders, and individuals across a wide range of industries, helping them build healthier workplaces, stronger teams, and more sustainable success. As an HR Executive and Director, I discovered that lasting success is shaped not only by what we do, but by how we think, lead, and respond to life's challenges. That realization led me to explore neuroscience, resilience, human behavior, and personal growth, which became the foundation of Wellness from Within.
Today, I combine extensive business experience with practical, evidence-based strategies to create online courses and resources that help professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, and individuals grow with confidence. My goal is to make high-quality knowledge and practical tools accessible to everyone, empowering you to create positive, lasting change in both your professional and personal life.
I am a Certified HeartMath® Coach and Mentor and a Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner, bringing together practical business expertise with proven approaches that support resilience, emotional well-being, effective leadership, and lasting growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Now that you have all the documentation required to help you on your path to fairness and equality for all in the workplace, it is time to start implementing them in your workplace. A good practice will be to make one person the custodian of all this documentation, and they will also be responsible to ensure that only these forms are used. They might need to be updated from time to time, but because they are in word format, you are able to make any amendments necessary.
