CIPA webinar

Tuesday 8 February 2022
12.30 – 1.30 pm

 

 

The Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys (CIPA) kindly invited all IP Inclusive supporters to join this free webinar, on a topic that’s crucial to respectful and inclusive working cultures.

 

Event overview

Bullying and harassment in the workplace can lead to unhappy, unproductive employees and can severely affect mental health. If left unresolved, these types of issues can deteriorate and result in costly and time-consuming outcomes, such as disciplinary action and employment tribunals.

Research has shown that six in ten people have either been the victim of, or witness to, workplace bullying and most organisations have procedures in place to deal with it when it occurs. This webinar explored what constitutes bullying and harassment, the difference between bullying and banter and your responsibilities. Delegates were given practical advice on how to identify, prevent and deal with bullying and harassment in the workplace and what they could do to help cultivate an inclusive culture where unfair treatment is unacceptable and everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
