Presentation
Workplace harassment is a major risk to employee health and business performance. Organisations must address it to protect their teams and meet their legal obligations. Preventive action has become a strategic priority for a healthy, safe working environment.
This one-day course alternates theoretical input, case law analysis and practical workshops. You will learn to distinguish workplace bullying from sexual harassment and identify early warning signs. Case studies and scenarios help you develop the right responses to handle reports and conduct internal investigations.
By the end of the programme, you will master practical tools for deploying an effective prevention plan, including charters and reporting mechanisms. You will be able to respond appropriately and fairly to a confirmed situation, protecting both the affected person and the organisation.
