Bullying No More! How to Have a Respectful Workplace

Overview

In a recent study by SafeWork Australia, nearly 40% of respondents said they had experienced some type of bullying at work. While many people think of bullying as physical (like pushing or touching), the largest amount of bullying in many workplaces is psychological. Whether it’s name-calling, shaming, yelling or being harassed, the cost of not dealing with bullying can be catastrophic.

Whether you are a manager or an employee, now is the time to learn more about bullying, what it is and isn’t and what to do if you are being bullied. Even if you’re not being bullied, you still have a responsibility to help create a respectful and safe workplace for everyone to come to and do their best work.

Bullying No More! is a training session to help you gain greater clarity around this important topic and to teach you what to do if you are bullied and how to play your part in building a respectful, safe and happy place to come to work each day without fear.
