| Description: |
Workplace bullying is a growing worry for many HR directors and employers:- Studies say 1 in 10 employees in U.S. workplaces will be the target of what the experts define as “persistent aggressive or unreasonable behavior” from supervisors and co-workers this year – everything from rude manners and office ostracism to curses and taunts, the destruction of work product or personal property, and even outright assault and battery.
- These bullies target women and minorities in disproportionately large numbers, which is bad news if you’re ever brought to court.
- If you make a mistake disciplining or firing bullies, they can turn around and sue you, too!
It’s not easy identifying potential or active workplace bullies – but you can minimize your legal risks by staying alert to the red flags that signify bullying in progress, establishing clear-cut policies prohibiting these behaviors, and dealing swiftly with complaints and claims as they’re made.

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
