WORKSAFE Victoria is holding free training sessions on preventing and responding to bullying at work.
WorkSafe Victoria says it will be providing practical information on how to prevent bullying in the workplace and how to respond if it does happen.
The sessions are suited for employers, managers, supervisors and health and safety representatives from businesses of all sizes, from all industries.
Attendees will receive a pack of resources to take back to the workplace to help develop systems that will prevent bullying, respond to reports of bullying and effectively meet legal duties under occupational health and safety laws.
WorkSafe Victoria says bullying is defined as repeated, unreasonable behaviour directed to an employee or group of employees that creates a risk to health and safety.
As well as creating a risk to health and safety, bullying can impact an organisation through reduced productivity, staff turnover and legal costs.
WorkSafe Victoria’s research shows 14% of Victorian workers have experienced bullying.
