What does it cover?
Bullying in the workplace takes many forms. It may be covert and insidious or a one-off blatant incident. Either way, bullying and harassment are always unacceptable and in may cases illegal.
Given that managers and employees can be held personally liable for discriminatory acts (whether they were intended to be discriminatory or not), this is an area that cannot be ignored.
This workshop will give practical guidance on increasing awareness and limiting the risks involved in this area.
What will delegates be able to do differently?
- Spot behaviour which is not conductive to good working order or relationships and be able to step in appropriately
- Be able to recognise when to manage an issue informally or formally and what to do in each case
- Know how to manage the actions conducted by staff outside of work which can cause issues inside work
- Work towards creating the right culture, fostering healthy attitudes in the workplace
- Know when to propose mediation and how to prevent constructive dismissals
- Listen to a complaint and give support to the employee throughout the process; at the same time minimising the impact on the employer.
