Dignity, worth, mutual respect, fairness - these are some of the key words associated with human rights legislation and with the Diversity and Human Rights initiative at Mount Sinai Hospital.

The Diversity and Human Rights Office at Mount Sinai Hospital is designed to respond to the diversity of Toronto's population. The hospital is dedicated to ensuring: a positive and respectful work environment for all employees; equitable and accessible services for patients, families and visitors; and inclusive, welcoming surroundings for all. These goals are currently emphasized in Mount Sinai Hospital's values and in existing policies related to harassment and abuse.

Mount Sinai Hospital's Harassment Policy emphasizes that the hospital is committed to providing a work environment that is free from harassment, where the dignity of every employee and individual associated with the hospital is respected. It emphasizes that allegations of harassment shall be dealt with in a fair manner.

The Diversity and Human Rights Office is guided by a committee of representatives of the hospital community, including local unions, management and key areas of the hospital.

All new employees learn about the Hospital's Harassment Policy and the work of the Diversity and Human Rights Office. Ongoing education is also provided.
