Managing Workplace Harassment
Oh, you may say, “not in my office,” or “not our team,” but workplace harassment is an increasing issue in the organizations today. It can come in the form of a slap, a phrase, an email, or reassignment of duties. Harassment is not okay and it is illegal. Harassment needs to be reported so that the company can handle the issue properly and remediate any future problems.
Our Managing Workplace Harassment workshop provides guidance for an ever changing work environment. Your participants will recognize the necessity for the whole organization to be on board with monitoring and reporting any issues. This workshop will also help in fostering a safer and more productive workplace.
