Dealing With & Preventing Harassment – 17 June

This workshop is now full. We will shortly be announcing dates for future sessions.

Does your organisation have policies and processes for dealing with sexual harassment in the workplace? No? It’s time you did.

The problem of workplace harassment has been in the news recently. Public awareness is growing and more complaints about harassment are surfacing.

Sexual harassment in the workplace affects staff morale, lowers productivity and tarnishes an organisation’s reputation. Having to manage a sexual harassment claim can cost precious time, money and resources.

A recent AWARE survey found that 54% of people had experienced some form of sexual harassment at work. Two thirds of the respondents were not aware of any sexual harassment policies at their workplace.

Learn how you can create a positive, safe and harassment-free workplace at our workshops.
