Nearly 25% of individuals have experienced some form of bullying or harassment at work, according to one survey. It can be both direct and obvious or very subtle. It can be disguised as banter or involve the unfair allocation of work or exclusion from social events. When it happens, it has devastating effects on the workplace and the victim.
Bullying and harassment often harm physical and mental health, with victims reporting a range of symptoms. It also creates a toxic work environment where low morale and poor productivity are commonplace.
Along with this, internal disciplinary hearings and external legal cases can result in the expenditure of time and money. As an employer, protecting your staff from bullying and harassment is crucial.
This online Bullying and Harassment Training course provides users with an essential understanding of workplace bullying and harassment. Users will understand what the law says on bullying and harassment, prevention strategies, and how to respond after experiencing or witnessing it in the workplace.
Bullying or harassment refers to behaviours that harm, intimidate, or humiliate someone, either directly or indirectly.
Under the Equality Act 2010, harassment is defined as unwanted conduct related to protected characteristics like age, race, gender, or disability that violates dignity or creates a hostile environment. Bullying, while not explicitly defined by law, includes offensive or malicious actions that undermine or humiliate individuals.
The key distinction lies in legal definitions. Bullying refers to repeated offensive actions but is not specifically defined in UK law. Harassment, however, is unlawful under the Equality Act 2010 when related to protected characteristics. While both behaviours are unacceptable, harassment has clearer legal status and protections.
Training should be delivered during employee onboarding and refreshed every one to two years as part of ongoing compliance. It should also be provided when there are legislative updates, policy changes or workplace incidents.
