The IQA is pleased to deliver the Understanding Bullying & Harassment in the Workplace webinar, which looks at ways to prevent and respond to workplace bullying and harassment.

 

 

  

 

Date: Wednesday 19 April 2023
Start: 12:00pm - 1:00pm AEST
Location: Online Via Zoom 

Workplace bullying has been characterised by WorkSafe as ‘persistent and repeated negative behaviour directed at an employee that creates a risk to health and safety’.  Harassment may also involve unreasonable behaviours, but harassment differs from bullying in that it is a form of discrimination.  

These persistent behaviours can have an impact on an individual’s health and happiness, affecting their ability to do their job.  Under WHS legislation, the principal duty of employers is to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of their workers or groups of workers.  Breaches can incur heavy costs for organisations, including fines, loss of reputation and high levels of employee turnover.

Everyone has the right to a workplace free from bullying and harassment.

The Australian Workplace Barometer states the prevalence of bullying in Australian workplaces as 8.6%. Alarmingly, of those who reported being bullied, more than 50% indicated it occurred at least once per week².

There is a difference between Bullying and Banter!
