Bullying, intimidation and harassment

This one-day course explores the legal and practical consequences of workplace bullying and intimidation, including sexual harassment and other forms of gender-based violence.

We also explore recruitment practices in the film and events sector, with a particular emphasis on recruiting vulnerable persons.

Finally, we explore some practical solutions to these problems, including alternative forms of dispute resolution that empower individuals and limit workplace conflict.

Workplace intimidation and bullying can take many forms, including cyberbullying, sexual harassment, insults and put-downs, lashing out against the employee by yelling and cursing, and threats of violence. In all cases, the conduct of the abuser serves to intimidate and humiliate the victim or victims.

It's a particular challenge in the film and events industry where organisations scale up their headcount to handle an event and scale down once an event or film production has been completed. People work in a highpressure environment, where tight deadlines and a failure to achieve targets can have profound consequences.

In a workshop environment, we'll test the dispute resolution theories and ensure you have the skills to bring harmony to an event environment that appears to thrive in chaos.
