“Nakai aims to create a work space where all collaborators feel safe and free from harassment, bullying, discrimination or passive aggressive behaviour. We aspire to work from liberation and anti-oppression frameworks in the studio, office and all interactions. Nakai recognizes the inherent dignity, worth and equality of every employee, contractor, Board member, volunteer and patron, and is committed to providing an environment free from unlawful discrimination and harassment. We emphasize impact over intent, maintaining right relations, proactive conflict resolution and preventing unsafe work behaviour from occuring in the first place.

The objectives of this policy are to:

  1. Explain efforts Nakai makes to create a safe and respectful work environment;

  2. Define harassment, discrimination and its various forms, including sexual harassment;

  3. Provide guidance and process for Employees, Contractors, Officers, Volunteers and Supervisors in managing conflict, as well as occasions of harassment, bullying, or discrimination.

This policy applies to:

  1. All workspaces where artists work under contract;

  2. Extensions to formally contracted workspaces, as by Equity’s contracts; and

  3. Any additional work-related spaces such as:

    1. transportation and accommodation on tour;

    2. engager-organized social events;
