Bullying and harassment training

Bullying and harassment training

“Workplace bullying breaks hearts, morale, drive, passion and the confidence to do productive meaningful work” – Ty Howard

Bullying and harassment allegations can be incredibly disruptive and damaging to any business, particularly if they are related to discrimination. However, the word ‘bullying’ is sometimes used inappropriately, as a coverall for bad management or a dislike of direction.  That being said, sadly, bullying and harassment does still exist in many modern workplaces.

Often the consequence of an ingrained company culture or outdated management practices and manifesting itself in grievances, high labour turnover, poor productivity and high absence rates, bullying and harassment can be a hidden issue until just one employee gets to a point where they have ‘had enough’.

As a business owner, strong policy and regular training can help protect your business against bullying and harassment behaviour and claims, although nothing beats robust recruitment practices, supporting the selection of individuals who will share your company values and support a zero tolerance approach.

Solve has designed a participative, informal and thorough ‘Dignity at Work’ training package which can be sensitively presented in the event your company has recently been through a bullying and harassment situation. Or alternatively in the event you want a modern, practical session which invites all participants to think about the impact of their actions at work, their duties as a ‘safe’ employee and educates on bullying, harassment and victimisation contact Solve.
