Workplace bullying and harassment rates are comparatively high in New Zealand. These events can have devastating consequences for affected employees and are often difficult for businesses to resolve.
Businesses often place an emphasis on formal investigations to resolve complaints, however, this emphasis can interfere with alternative and potentially more effective actions. This webinar offers the perspectives of an employment lawyer and a clinical psychologist on these issues, and is designed to inform your provision of clear, practical, and robust advice to your clients regarding these problems.
In particular, the webinar will cover:
- Legal framework regarding bullying
- Issues arising from the default investigative approach
- An alternative framework
- Practical advice for resolving bullying complaints.
Learning objectives
