We all have a responsibility to contribute to creating a workplace environment free of bullying. On January 1, 2012 the national harmonisation of work health and safety laws will place an even greater onus on businesses and managers to look after their people. Now is the time to act.
Workplace bullying is responsible for:
- absenteeism
- lost productivity
- employee disengagement
- legal risk
It also impacts on an individual’s mental health and wellbeing, which in turn adversely affects the culture of the work environment.
Be a step ahead of the problem and create a productive, harmonious office culture that not only defuses but prevents further incidence of bullying. En Masse offers face-to-face interventions and online training solutions in bullying prevention. Our programs help embed the values and learnings that drive behaviour and culture change.
