Harassment and Bullying Awareness
All employers should create awareness of what constitutes harassment and bullying in the workplace, how to eliminate it and create a zero-tolerance environment. You must also teach all your employees how to raise an issue, be taken seriously and ensure your managers deal with it properly.
Tuesday 14th March 2023 9-11:00 am
The Code of Good Practice on the Prevention and Elimination of Harassment in the Workplace, published on the 18th March 2022 is aimed at the well-being of all employees. After all, this is only good for business. Happy people are productive people and if some of your staff do not want to come to work because they are bullied, this affects your entire environment and your productivity.
Empower your managers to create a zero-tolerance environment, encourage them to take each matter seriously, give them tools to know how to manage each case they have to deal with and instil a culture of swift and empathetic action, is the aim of this webinar.
Your staff should also be encouraged raise issues immediately they happen, even if the harassment is not directly aimed at them. The webinar will teach you what the effective 'bystander approach' entails.
Start your New Year, with a positive note, creating an environment, where we are kinder to each other, where bullying of any nature is not tolerated and where taking care of each other is the ideal to strive for. Do this early, so that you have the rest of the year to ensure you create and maintain a great organisational culture.
