    Course Overview

    Workplace bullying doesn’t just harm individuals, it undermines entire organisations. Staff morale, retention, and productivity suffer when bullying is left unchallenged, while legal, compliance, and reputational risks continue to grow.

    Delivered in partnership with workplace bullying specialist Nicki Eyre of Conduct Change, this training provides the insight, tools, and strategies to take action. Participants learn how to address cyberbullying in remote and hybrid settings, understand what drives bullying behaviours, and explore why traditional approaches often fail. The session also supports organisations to embed prevention through effective early interventions and a culture where staff feel empowered to speak up.

    In this session, we cover:

      • Clear definitions of workplace bullying, harassment and cyberbullying – what they are, how they show up, and the risks they create.
      • Recognising bullying behaviours – from obvious aggression to subtle and covert actions.
      • Cyberbullying in remote and hybrid work – how online environments change the risks.
      • Understanding the bullying dynamic – what drives someone to bully, and how these behaviours persist.
      • The impact of bullying on employees and organisations – personal, professional and cultural consequences.
      • Why traditional approaches fail – and how organisations can respond more effectively.
      • Early intervention strategies – practical steps to resolve issues before they escalate.
      • Building an Active Upstander culture – empowering staff to call out and prevent bullying.

     

    By the end, your teams will leave with an increased understanding of bullying dynamics and practical solutions to create a safer, more respectful culture.
