Bullying & Harassment Awareness

Provides learners with awareness of psychosocial hazards, and the subsequent psychological and physical impact that unsafe behaviours have on individuals, teams, and organisations.

IMPACT

Unsafe behaviours can fuel destructive workplace cultures.

This training raises awareness of psychosocial hazards—such as bullying, harassment, and disrespect—and highlights their psychological and physical impacts on individuals, teams, and organisations. Improving workforce awareness helps prevent risks and promotes healthier work environments.

  • Which actions put employees’ and customers’ health and safety at risk?
  • How do certain behaviours contribute to exclusion and affect wellbeing, performance, and engagement?
  • What are our legal obligations regarding workplace conduct, and are we meeting them?
