Overview
All Employees Deserve a Workplace Free From Bullying and Harassment
All employees have the right to a work environment that is free from bullying and harassment. Everyone should go to work knowing that they will be treated with dignity and respect in the workplace.
Bullying and harassment of any kind should not be tolerated, whether employees work at a fixed location, at home or on the move. Both employees and employers have a role to play in promoting a positive workplace culture free from bullying.
Legal Island has created a Workplace Bullying eLearning training course specifically for all employees in Northern Ireland to enable your organisation to raise awareness of bullying and harassment in the workplace and explain what to do if employees are concerned about bullying.

The course will focus on bullying behaviour identification by clarifying what is classed as bullying and what is not. It will also highlight the different forms of bullying and explain how to report a case of bullying.

Background
Understanding Bullying & Harassment at Work
Bullying is not specifically defined in Northern Irish law. However, the Labour Relations Agency (LRA) explain bullying as:
“Where one person or persons engage in unwanted conduct in relation to another person, which has the purpose or effect of violating that person’s dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment for that person.”
Understanding Harassment at Work
It is important that your employees also recognise what is not bullying at work. In order to do this, it is essential to distinguish bullying from other inappropriate workplace behaviour, such as harassment. It is also important to clearly define what is deemed as appropriate workplace engagement and explain the importance of effective workplace conflict management.
In contrast to bullying, the unreasonable behaviour defined as harassment is based on an employee’s race, colour, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, or national origin.
If you are interested in Workplace Harassment training specifically, Legal Island offers a Workplace Harassment eLearning course. This eLearning course offers comprehensive training on preventing and addressing workplace and sexual harassment.
Impact of Bullying at Work
Legal Island’s workplace bullying course also covers bullying impact training, which will offer insight into the impacts of bullying within the workplace, both for the company and for impacted employees.
Workplace bullying can severely impact the mental health of people working within your company. Victims of workplace bullying tend to experience higher levels of stress, anxiety, and panic attacks, decreased levels of motivation, and lower self-esteem.
For your company, this can lead to issues such as absenteeism, low staff morale, and high levels of staff turnover.
It is estimated that 18.9 million workdays are lost in the UK each year because of bullying, at a cost of approximately £18 billion to businesses annually. This statistic highlights bullying at work can also have significant effects on the organisation.

Providing all staff with anti-bullying and employee rights training will ensure a workplace where any conflicts or issues are dealt with fairly and effectively.
Strategies to Prevent Bullying at Work
Legal Island’s Bullying training for Northern Ireland companies will include a bullying prevention course that will highlight various strategies to prevent bullying at work.
The course will highlight the importance of building a positive workplace culture, having effective leaders and team meetings, a clear and enforced bullying and harassment policy, and the importance of effective communication within the workplace.
In order to promote a workplace that is free from bullying, it is essential to send a clear message of zero tolerance to behaviours that are deemed bullying and harassment within the workplace, ensuring employees are aware of the repercussions of their actions.
Importance of Training
Employees Deserve to Feel Safe, Valued & Included
