Effective workplace policies make for good productivity

Workplace Bullying, Discrimination & Harassment Policies

By law, all employers are required to take reasonable steps to prevent and promptly deal with bullying, harassment and discrimination.

A well-designed policy directive that sets the standards of expected behaviour, is one step organisations need to take to prevent bullying, sexual harassment and discrimination and encourage a culture of respect within their organisation. 

Well-designed conflict management systems incorporate a number of options to address conflicts, and complaints of disrespectful behaviours including bullying, sexual harassment and discrimination.

Aboto can assist your organisation to develop a Respectful Behaviour Policy (incorporating directives on bullying, sexual harassment and discrimination), conflict management systems, and grievance procedures that are based on current models of best practice, and in line with current legislative requirements.

All policies and conflict management systems are tailored to your business needs – no matter how big or how small your organisation.

If your organisation plans to develop a workplace bullying, discrimination and sexual harassment policy in-house, Aboto can supply a bullying and harassment policy example. This sample policy template can then be modified to achieve a clear workable policy and complaint procedure for significantly less investment than if you started from scratch. Please contact Aboto for details on our sample policy templates.
