Bullying and harassment

Companies are becoming more aware of the possibility and often reality of bullying and harassment within their workforce, and of the pressing need to do something about it.

Bullying and harassment are particularly serious issues which can be present in the workplace at all levels. Proactively addressing them will immediately benefit affected individuals and teams, in turn greatly improving morale, productivity and performance.

Bullying and harassment is a term we use to encompass many different issues, including:

• intimidation
• personal threat
• cultural difference
• diversity
• equal opportunities
• all matters of personal respect and dignity

Our Care first investigators are trained and experienced professionals and may be members of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), The Law Society or the British Psychological Society (BPS). They are professionals with comprehensive knowledge of the legal aspects of equality, diversity, workplace harassment and disability.
