Managing Bullying & Harassment

From £842 for up to 12 delegates

Do your employees talk about the B word? Where B is for Banter. This common reference can land an employer in all sorts of hot water, especially as the employer can be liable for their employee’s ‘banter’, which can sometimes lead to claims of harassment or bullying. We will show you how to informally nip some grievances in the bud but also deal sensibly and calmly with serious allegations.

Aside from the stress and anxiety, ACAS recently reported that the UK economy-wide impact of bullying-related absenteeism, turnover and lost productivity was estimated at £13.75 billion.
