Course Overview
Harassment awareness training, counselling and harassment prevention training are critical tools to ensure employees and supervisors understand proper professional conduct at work. It is therefore paramount for HR practitioners & leaders to know not just the “what”, in terms of the implications that current local legislation has on such incidents, but more importantly, on the “how”, which is the effective way to manage the emotions and sensitivities during the interaction with the affected employees. In certain instances, some employees may also turn to inappropriate or negative behaviours due to various reasons & HR practitioners will also need to be prepared to take up disciplinary measures against them where necessary.
In this 1-day workshop, the key focus is to provide HR practitioners with a structured and practical approach in engaging with employees through harassment issues, both from a perpetrator as well as victim point of view. This workshop also provides learners the basics of counselling, disciplinary measures, and employee conflict management/mediation.
