If the courses in our Training to Prevent Bullying and Harassment at Work section are of interest but you would prefer a more tailored content, incorporating examples that are individual to your organisation, we are experienced and happy to work towards your desired outcome with you.

Alternatively, we can create tackling  bullying and harassment training courses from scratch specifically designed to help you achieve your business goals.

Here are some examples:

• We developed a course for a national packaging company where most of the delegates were employed within a manufacturing/shop floor environment. A specific role play exercise was developed to highlight the ‘macho’ culture that prevailed. It was also necessary to incorporate references to the company’s policies into the training.
• For a recruitment agency, we incorporated aspects of the organisation’s ‘Mutual Respect Policy’ into the course workbook. References to the policy were also made during the training course. The discussion scenarios were designed to demonstrate the difference between bullying and assertive management of staff in an office environment.
• We were approached by a Government Executive Agency after the results of a staff survey, based on the HSE Stress Management Standards, revealed higher than acceptable instances of bullying. As a result we included a review of the organisational factors that may be contributing to a bullying culture into the training for managers. The Agency also requested that we incorporate established disciplinary procedures into the training content.

By discussing your exact requirements with us, we can also advise whether training is likely to be the most effective approach; it may be that coaching for one or two individuals, rather than sending them on a out-of-house course, may bring untold results. For example, Coaching in the Aftermath of Bullying, resulted in one manager being referred to as a “changed person” within 6 months of having a grievance for bullying made against him.
