Can YOU AND YOUR employees avoid stressful and legal situations?

EGL I ASSESSMENTS PTY LTD provides useful strategies and tips to help meet personal compliance requirements with laws, regulations, industry codes and organisational standards.

Our research capacity allows us to work with you to identify emerging trends and issues in relation to legislation that will impact on future compliance requirements.

How can YOU control workplace hazards such as bullying, harassment, sexual harassment and other forms of conflict?

Litigation and grievances can be caused through -

• staff conflict and a failure to respond in a timely manner

• gossiping and backbiting

• lack of respect and dignity

• failure to respond or address counterproductive workplace behaviours such as bullying and harassment or sexual harassment

• absenteeism

• presenteeism (staff coming to work but not working)

• workplace theft and misuse of business resources

These impact on all areas of productivity and performance. They have the potential for negative publicity and financial embarrassment.

Organisations and individuals have obligations they must meet in relation to all forms of counterproductive workplace behaviours including bullying, harassment and sexual harassment.

There is an increased chance that you may be held personally liable for breaches of the law including a failure to meet due diligence requirements under the new Work Health and Safety legislation.

Everyone has a role to play in meeting legal compliance requirements.

We provide practical advice on

• Leadership, management and supervisory practices

• Implementation and compliance with legislation, policy and procedures

• Management of workplace health and safety policies

• Operational risk management practices and procedures

• Proactive use of assessments to enhance workplace performance and productivity

• Development of systems and processes to maintain currency of knowledge in relation to Court, Commission and Tribunal decisions

HR practices including:

• conduct situational based workshops designed to prepare 'officers' and workers for Court, Commission and Tribunal appearances

  • workplace bullying and harassment and sexual harassment

CHECKLIST QUESTIONS

There are many questions that can be asked in a Court, Commission or Tribunal.  Some of these questions might be asked by legal representatives on behalf of those who have lodged a workplace claim.  The judiciary or the media might ask questions depending on the allegations raised.

It is entirely possible that you will be confronted with questions based on:

• How much does counterproductive workplace behaviours such as bullying and harassment or sexual harassment cost you?

• How do you manage counterproductive workplace behaviours such as bullying and harassment or sexual harassment?

• How has workplace bullying and harassment and sexual harassment been addressed in your risk management, business continuity, health and safety, audit or the fraud and corruption prevention plans?

• What are your employment conditions?

• How can you demonstrate that you can meet your due diligence requirements as outlined in the forthcoming Work Health and Safety Act 2012?

• What have you done in the last twelve months to test the effectiveness of your policies in relation to counterproductive workplace behaviours including bullying, harassment and sexual harassment?

• Why didn't you do anything to prepare for the changes?

I have prepared some questions that will help you determine if gaps exist in your organisation preparedness.  You can download these by clicking here Docs/WORKPLACE BULLYING IS A COST YOU CANNOT AFFORD.pdf
