Workplace bullying and harassment places your staff’s health, safety and well being at risk and may lead to psychological and/or physical injury and also contribute to other injuries occurring. Bullying and harassment often continues unchecked, as people don’t want to talk about it. Bullies come in all shapes and sizes; they can be men or women, managers, supervisors, colleagues or carer/family members.
This workshop specifically addresses what is and is not bullying behaviours. We also focus on what constitutes harassment and the impact it has on individuals and on the workplace. We will also explore leadership styles, which can assist in improving your workplace culture and relationships, and how you can work towards developing an improved pro-active safety culture.
(Employers should develop a Code of Acceptable Behaviour and a No Bullying Policy. The policy should be negotiated in consultation with health and safety committees, unions and staff.)
