Create a workplace where people feel safe to speak up and leaders can respond effectively to employee disclosures.
This interactive 2.5 hour workshop is designed for workplace leaders, supervisors and HR professionals. It equips participants with the essential skills required to support employees who have experienced an emotionally distressing situation such as bullying, racism or sexual harassment.
