Beyond Banter: Understanding and Addressing Workplace Bullying and Harassment

Workplace humour in the form of teasing and witty exchange is often seen as harmless banter - a way to bring an element of fun, build relationships and boost morale - but when does it cross the line into bullying and harassment? 

About This Webinar

All employers are under a duty to prevent harassment and sexual harassment and to protect and promote the health, safety and welfare of their workforce.

If you are an HR professional, people manager or business owner, join us as we explore how to distinguish between banter and behaviour that may amount to bullying or harassment, what a reasonable response looks like, and how to meet your legal obligations in a way that will protect your people and your business.

You’ll come away with realistic, actionable steps to handle problematic behaviour at an early stage, reduce risk, support staff wellbeing, help your business stay compliant and create a working environment where everyone feels safe and respected.
