Duration: Half dayInvestment: $430 incl GST
Delivery: Webinar
Target Audience
For all Council staff
Overview
Workplace bullying is on the rise in Australia. No workplace is immune. Apart from heightened risk of anxiety, depression and suicide on the individuals concerned, The Productivity Commission estimates it costs Australian organisations between $6 billion and $36 billion a year through lost productivity, poor morale, increased absenteeism and time spent documenting, pursuing or defending claims.So, the big question is…is there a risk that bullying is happening in your workplace? Do you know how to recognise it when you see it?
The most effective way to stamp out bullying is to stop it before it starts. This means putting in place an approach to prevent inappropriate behaviour from escalating and growing a respectful work culture where bullying is not tolerated. The content of this program will provide participants with a positive starting point to address workplace bullying.
