Sessions

The case for preventing workplace harassment is well established, though many companies still underestimate the non- litigation costs. While discussions about workplace bullying are newer to HR, workplace bullying is highly prevalent and costly to companies. Both harassment and bullying cause anxiety, low job satisfaction, and increased turnover, but they have differing legal consequences. The distinction, and the overlap, between these concepts can certainly cause confusion. This session will help you define both the similarities and differences in workplace bullying and illegal harassment and understand their legal significance. The presenters will describe the damage caused by these behaviors to make a business case for ending them and articulate tactics for building a preventative and sustainable positive culture change.
