Workplace Bullying Prevention Training - Perth

Workplace Bullying Prevention Training - Perth

You know that uncomfortable feeling when you walk into the office and can sense tension in the air? When someone's being consistently undermined, excluded from meetings they should be in, or having their work sabotaged? That's workplace bullying, and it's happening in more workplaces than we'd like to admit. The thing is, most people either don't recognize it when they see it, don't know how to address it properly, or are afraid of making things worse by speaking up.

I've been in those situations myself - watching good people get ground down by persistent negative behavior, seeing teams fall apart because toxic dynamics were left unchecked, and witnessing the ripple effects on productivity, morale, and staff turnover. The worst part? In many cases, it could have been prevented or stopped early if people knew what to look for and had the confidence to act.

This isn't about pointing fingers or creating a blame culture. It's about giving you the practical tools to recognize bullying behaviors early, respond appropriately when you witness them, and create an environment where everyone can do their best work without fear of harassment or intimidation. We'll cover the difference between tough management and actual bullying (because there is a difference), how to document incidents properly, and the legal obligations your organization has.

The reality is that workplace bullying costs businesses serious money - through increased sick leave, reduced productivity, higher turnover, and potential legal action. But more importantly, it destroys people's confidence and well-being. You'll learn how to have those difficult conversations with both targets and perpetrators, when to escalate issues, and how to support colleagues who might be experiencing workplace bullying.

We'll also look at the subtle forms of bullying that often get overlooked - the constant interrupting, the exclusion from social activities, the deliberate withholding of information, and the undermining comments disguised as "just jokes." These behaviors can be just as damaging as overt aggression, and they're often harder to address because they seem so minor when taken individually.
