Bullying & Sexual Harassment
Yvonne Collier & Dean Collier
All geared up for good work practice in the factory environment.
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 one-day, half-day workshops, 2 hour workshops and most recently (due to requests) an intensive interactive one-hour workshops.
“Thank you, Yvonne & Dean. I just wanted to reiterate our sincere thanks for your efforts over the last three days of ‘Awareness: Good Workplace Behaviour: Zero Tolerance of Workplace Bullying and Harassment’ series of one-hour intensive multimedia workshops for our 24/5, 170 blue-collar staff. I can see you’re both very passionate about what you do and to have such early starts for three days and remain just as energized for the last session as the first is a real credit to you. Definitely keen to stay in touch”. Kate B, HR Advisor, Global Packaging Company

Next workshop TBA - More details: 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.

"I didn’t realise I am liable if I witness inappropriate behaviour and don’t act."
"The Australian case studies were real, relevant and thought provoking."
"It was directly relevant and helped us realise our need to be accountable."
"The content was well facilitated and Yvonne's style helped to involve, engage and get open and honest reactions from the managers."
"The impact of the workshop and the ‘best practice’ behaviours can be referred to as we go forward and implement the culture change that 'is necessary to create more harmony in our workplace."
"We can now direct the staff fairly, and let all employees have an avenue for discussion, fair and correct procedures, and know how to handle harassment issues in our workplace."
