Workplace Bullying Course

According to HeadsUp.org, a website that provides workplace resources for employees, employers, managers and small business owners, the definition of workplace bullying is "repeated and unreasonable behaviour directed toward an employee or group of employees that creates a risk to health and safety." This type of harmful behaviour in the workplace many times goes unreported, mainly because of it's shameful, intimidating effect on the victimised employee. Unfortunately, so many of these horrible incidents don't come to light.

In our Workplace Bullying course, participants will learn how to identify the different forms of bullying, from subtle behaviours to more overt actions, and understand the impact it has on individuals and organisational culture. Through real-world scenarios and practical strategies, they will explore how to respond effectively, build confidence in addressing inappropriate behaviour, and contribute to a safer, more respectful workplace. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to help prevent bullying and promote a culture of dignity and respect.
