RFP Scope: 

FCC is committed to providing a workplace free of harassment, violence, discrimination, or bullying.

FCC’s intention through this RFP is to engage one or more qualified and experienced Proponents who can undertake workplace harassment investigations on behalf of FCC in cases of breaches to the Code of Conduct or Harassment & Violence in the Workplace policy, where FCC does not have the capacity to undertake such investigations or when it is considered that an external investigation is required to ensure impartiality. The Proponent must have the ability to undertake investigations and conduct interviews in one or both of Canada’s Official Languages. We would like a mix of bilingual and non-bilingual proponents as investigations may need to occur in predominantly French speaking locations. As FCC is federally regulated, all investigations must adhere to the Canada Labour code and be conducted in accordance with Bill C65.
