Anti-Harassment in the Workplace - Team Training

Harassment in the workplace can have a devastating impact on individuals and organisations alike. From psychological distress and loss of morale to reputational damage and costly litigation, the consequences are far-reaching. According to the CIPD, nearly 15% of UK employees have experienced bullying or harassment at work within the last three years. Moreover, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) reports that 52% of women have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace during their careers.

The Anti-Harassment in the Workplace – Team Training is a comprehensive online course designed to help organisations eliminate toxic behaviours, address complaints effectively, and foster a respectful, safe working environment for all. Tailored for HR teams, managers, and staff at every level, this course blends UK legislative requirements with practical guidance, scenario-based learning, and actionable strategies.

Whether you’re looking to implement a new workplace civility policy, raise awareness, or train teams in legal compliance and conflict resolution, this course is your all-in-one resource.

Why Your Team Needs This Training

Workplace harassment isn’t just an HR issue—it’s a business risk. The Equality Act 2010 legally protects workers from harassment, and failure to prevent it can result in employment tribunals, high staff turnover, and reputational damage.

A report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) found that four out of five individuals who experience harassment do not report it, often due to fear of retaliation or lack of trust in organisational procedures. This silence perpetuates harm, leaving victims unsupported and employers exposed.

This training aims to bridge that gap. Your team will learn how to:

• Identify the early signs of workplace harassment and bullying
• Conduct fair and thorough investigations
• Establish and enforce anti-harassment policies
• Support victims and reduce repeat incidents
• Promote civility, ethical leadership, and psychological safety

The course encourages culture change from the ground up—supporting compliance, empathy, and long-term workforce wellbeing.
