Bullying and harassment are unfortunately quite common in many workplaces. Both forms of behaviour are unacceptable, and the law makes it clear that employers have an obligation to tackle both types if made aware of it.

Not only can issues between employees lead to distress and upset within your team, but they can leave you open to litigation if you do not effectively manage any situations as they arise.

Understanding what constitutes bullying and harassment and examples of both, can help ensure you address any unrest at an early stage, and prevent escalation of inappropriate behaviour.  Our latest HR Masterclass module will empower you to effectively manage bullying and harassment if it occurs in your team.

HR Masterclass – Module 8 (Bullying and Harassment) guides you through:

• What constitutes bullying and harassment
• Understanding protected characteristics
• How to create a positive environment
• How to deal with allegations and outcomes
• Managing allegations made against you

Written by HR expert Robyn Clark, a member of the CIPD, this module is essential learning for everyone involved in managing staff within general practice.

The HR Masterclass also includes seven other informative modules:

• Module 1 (Recruitment)
• Module 2 (Performance Management)
• Module 3 (Disciplinaries)
• Module 4 (Appraisals and Objective Setting)
• Module 5 (Managing Short-Term Sickness Absence)
• Module 6 (Managing Long-Term Absence)

Each module is accredited with a certificate, provided upon completion.
