Often times prevention is better than remedy. Employers and employees alike share a responsibility to keep the workplace free from bullying and harassment.
As part of this workshop, we will discuss the basics of Dignity and Respect at work. The primary aim of the session will be prevention. This is done through building a culture that supports staff by setting the standards the business requires of its workforce.
This workshop will cover its meaning in practical terms, provide a clear review of the Code of Practice on Bullying, and the new Code of Practice on Sexual Harassment and Harassment published in March 2022. The session will cover the differences in both, thereby making sure that your business has the most up to date information to protect staff and the business itself.
