What can I do to prevent bullying and harassment complaints in my workplace?
With preventative measures, you can minimise the existence and effect of negative workplace relationships which lead to complaints of bullying and harassment.
It may be necessary to consider a combination of the following:
- An audit of current practices which may reveal inconsistencies between your existing policies and your legal obligations.
- As a result of the audit, it may be necessary to design or revise appropriate policies and procedures.
- Rolling out a training programmefor managers, HR specialists and/or the workforce can help develop awareness and provide guidance on how to manage diversity.
- Putting in place an Employee Assistance Programme which would give advice relating to any workplace issues that may affect employee performance.
