Promoting Dignity At Work
(1 Day)
Ideally, your experience of work should be a positive one and there is an onus on employers to provide a positive workplace environment; one where there is respect and dignity. This workshop is intended for people who have responsibility for promoting equality, fairness and dignity in the workplace.
The workshop gives participants a good understanding of why it is important to have Dignity in the workplace and how to promote it. It also explains how a company can deal with inappropriate behaviour if it occurs and looks at some of the implications for management if they don’t do so.
