Workplace Wellbeing
Deciphering bullying, understanding how to create a positive and productive workplace environment. For the corporate arena. Workplace bullying costs the Federal economy in excess of $36 Billion in lost productivity according the federal productivity commission 2016. Staff turnover is a major contributor for organisations lack of productivity, as is sick leave, stress leave, poor morale and even internal sabotage. Workplace bullying is at epidemic proportions and many HR departments are at a loss as to how to deal with it for fear they are seen as not doing a good job, so many in HR ignore or conceal, or worse, wait for litigation rather than invest in a proven preventative model. Any workplace that wants to increase staff morale, decrease staff turnover, increase productivity and workplace safety providing a mentally stable and supportive environment needs this program.
