Hexagon Training is committed to fostering a professional, respectful, and inclusive environment for all staff, speakers, and attendees. This policy establishes expectations for workplace behaviour to ensure a safe, supportive, and productive learning experience for everyone. This policy outlines the expectations for professional conduct during Hexagon Training events and helps ensure that all programs provide a safe and supportive space for learning and collaboration.
This policy applies to all individuals involved in Hexagon Training events, including speakers, attendees, Hexagon staff and contractors, sponsors, partners, and any individuals attending or supporting the event. The policy applies to both in-person and virtual events, including workshops, webinars, conferences, and other training events.

Treat others with professionalism, courtesy, and respect
-
Be mindful of diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds
-
Participate in discussions in a constructive and respectful manner
-
Support a collaborative and positive learning environment
To maintain a safe and inclusive environment, attendees must refrain from behaviour that could make others feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or excluded. This includes, but is not limited to harassment, bullying, or intimidation, discriminatory or derogatory comments related to identity or personal characteristics, verbal abuse or aggressive behaviour, inappropriate or disruptive comments during presentations or discussions, misuse of chat functions, messaging tools, or other communication channels during virtual events.
Hexagon maintains a zero-tolerance approach to harassment or discrimination in any form.

- 5.3 The event may be briefly paused if needed to maintain a respectful environment, and in some situations, individuals may be asked to leave the session to protect the learning experience for others.
These actions are intended to ensure that all participants are able to engage comfortably and professionally.

and respond in a manner that prioritizes a respectful and supportive learning
