The Psychological Hazards of Workplace Psychological Harassment: what is it, and what to do about it. First learn about the definition so that we may clear up confusion, assumptions, stigma, and stereotyping. Understand the risk factors, early warning signs, how it impacts leaders, individuals, groups, and the overall work environment. Gain clarity by hearing the true stories, the human experience, of those who have being bullied or harassed, the valid struggles of witnesses and how we can help them, and how we can work with those identified as bullies or harassers in the workplace. These true stories will open your mind, build awareness, and build your confidence with trauma informed preventions, interventions, and repair or recovery options. You will learn about policies, procedures, legislation, investigations, research based best practices, and you will also gain solutions for those who are leaders, witnesses, complainants (employees who are harmed), and the respondents (those causing the harm). This training is focused on preventing harm. With this trauma informed, in-depth training, you will become equipped with insights, knowledge, and tools, to help make zero tolerance our new workplace norm.
