Bullying & Sexual Harassment

If in your workplace you experience bullying or sexual harassment,

Yvonne Collier CSP coaches one to one assertive skills,

and runs workshops to help individuals and companies

handle inappropriate workplace behaviours.

More than 25 years after sexual harassment was made illegal, discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying claims are increasing in blue and white-collar workforces. We must be more aware of changing values and legislation.

Yvonne runs a one day course with Sydney University Centre for Continuing Education which will open your eyes to

new legal avenues available to employees, steps you must take to reduce risks of claims, and allow you to learn and practice assertive skills, what to say and how to say it.

Next workshop Friday 18th May 2012

Sexual Harassment and Bullying in the Workplace

This course is especially for workers who want to contribute to a professional and fair work place environment.  Especially managers and supervisors who could be exposed to litigation and need to be aware of the legislation and liabilities as well as the need to model and promote best workplace behaviours, which increases productivity and profit.
