Do you have a bullying and harassment policy? Are staff aware of it and are employees confident of the fact that if they invoke it they will be treated sympathetically? Bullying and harassment is not always easily recognised as it may not be obvious to others. Workers may be worried of being accused of overreacting or that they will not be believed. However, if such treatment goes unchecked employers could be liable for claims under the discrimination regulations or for unfair dismissal. This course aims to mitigate against these risks.

Aimed at: HR professionals, in-house lawyers and managers.
