It gives this subject the sensitivity it needs whilst providing practical steps that can be used to combat bullying and harassment. This course also focuses on PREVENTING this negative behaviour - employees will learn how to create a POSITIVE CULTURE in the workplace.
According to a recent report carried out by YouGov, almost a third (29%) of people are bullied at work, causing 36% of victims to quit their role, whilst 46% of victims said it 'adversely' affected their performance at work.

Very informative
I liked the information contained in the course as it provided some good information on what identifies as harassment and bulling. The proper ways to deal with situations that may occur and who to report to when and if a situation may arise. I found the content explained very well and provided some clearer vision in the difference of harassment and bulling. Overall, it was a good course and glad I got the opportunity to complete it.

Bullying creates a negative working environment, decreasing productivity whilst increasing staff turnover; and harassment, which is an offence, leads to criminal charges, fines, and lost reputation. You need to make sure that ALL staff are able to spot the signs and know what to do to stamp it out. This course on Bullying & Harassment not only helps people understand, identify, and tackle the problem of bullying and harassment, but also gives them tools to prevent it from occurring in the first place.
