Maria Grazia Zedda

Culture and Inclusion Problem Solver

Supporting a bullying-free, inclusive culture beyond legal compliance

Have you heard of anecdotal discussions about bullying or harassment in your workplace? Or does your staff engagement survey show this as an area to pay attention to?

This 2 hr interactive workshop is a great way to ensure colleagues are clear on what to do if they witness or experience bullying, harassment or victimisation.

Raising awareness protects you as an employer and encourages a positive culture in which everyone can thrive.

This workshop works well for senior managers, HR personnel and team leaders to help share their learning widely and foster a sense of safety in the workplace.
