About Dignity at Work Training

Inappropriate behaviour in the workplace can have serious consequences for those involved. It can also reverberate throughout the organisation, be costly and time consuming. This course discusses the differences between bullying, harassment and sexual harassment, and what is not considered as bullying behaviour. It sets out approaches an employee and employer can take if inappropriate behaviour in the workplace occurs. It clearly outlines how to follow the guidelines of policy and procedure where there is unacceptable, inappropriate behaviour.
