Course details

Much progress has been made in recent years in making professional settings free from harassment, discrimination, bullying, and other forms of incivility. However, aggression and violence—both physical and psychological—still exist in many places. If your workplace is not deemed safe by employees, this can lead to resignations, reputational damage, and financial losses. In this course, Bella Ikpasaja shows you how you can take an organisational approach to avoiding the pitfalls of psychological, emotional, and physical harm to your staff. Bella explains how to build employee safety, embed and assess personal safety culture, implement procedures for supporting and signposting, and many more systems and policies that can help you protect your staff, wherever work-related risks come from—within or outside your organisation.
