In July 2023, the UK government announced the Bullying and Respect at Work bill which seeks to legally define bullying, provide a Respect at Work code and overall create a framework to protect employers and employees. This will ensure all employees' 'Dignity at Work'. Dignity at Work describes how we should treat colleagues in the workplace including respect for their values, qualities and differences. Today, there are now up to five different generations in the workplace, all who have varying sets of behaviours, values and beliefs. As a manager, it is your responsibility to deal with these situations on a case-by-case basis whilst maintaining the dignity of all stakeholders involved. Without it, a business can face high turnover, high absenteeism and an unmotivated workforce. Our training provides your mangers with the essential skills to ensure a fundamental understanding of dignity at work and a safe environment to ask any questions.
In October 2024, the Worker Protection Act will come into force. This legislation will place onus on the employer to protect employees from sexual harassment in the workplace. Whilst guidance is set to be released, training managers on their responsbilities is a good place to start.
