Description

By whatever term it is called bullying, harassment, intimidation, violence or overt incivility hostile abusive behaviors are on the rise and take an increasing toll on the workplace. They often result in personal tragedy. The behaviors can occur off the job or electronically but still result in workplace trauma or violence.

There are so many types of hostile, intimidating offensive behaviors and so many laws to prevent or punish the behavior that it can seem difficult to define or address the scope of the problem. Some highly abusive behaviors on the surface do not seem to be covered by any laws.  Can they be addressed? 

Your organization must address these issues! The courts have expanded the scope of an organization's duty of care for the overall work environment. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that private and public organizations have a Duty of Care which is owed to both those they serve and to their employees. Any organization providing services to clients, patients, students and customers has Duty of Care obligations. 

Attend this information-packed webinar by employment lawyer Robert Gregg to learn about the employer’s obligations to create and maintain a healthy, productive and profitable workplace. 

Agenda

  • How to define and identify bullying/abusive behavior in its differing manifestations.
  • Understand the laws which apply and how they can be used to confront and correct the array of hostile behaviors.
  • Learn the Duty of Care principles for addressing abusive behaviors and preventing liability.
  • Gain an understanding of how these concepts apply to practical, everyday situations.
  • Understand how to address situations before they harm people and generate legal actions.
