If the courses in our Tackling 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 training courses to prevent bullying and harassment at work from scratch, specifically designed to support your organisation's policies and practices.
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 their ‘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 an external course, could 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.
If you would like to discuss possible training solutions for your organisation, please contact us for an informal discussion as to how we can help.
This course gives those with managerial responsibility an understanding of bullying in the workplace and provides an opportunity to discuss good practice in a relaxed, flexible manner with plenty of opportunities for questions and answers.
Please get in touch with us if you have any questions.
We are always happy to talk about our courses and help you to work out the best match for your requirements.
