Anti Bullying Week

14 November 2011

This week is anti-bullying week. Read this article to learn about the services InterHealth provides to help prevent and overcome conflict in the workplace...

Feeling sad, alone and neglected: just a few of the emotions that may result for someone affected by bullying and conflict within the work place. Such discord is a detrimental but sadly not scarce occurrence. Close working relationships are a vital attribute for best outcomes and results and, without these, not only is potential and productivity decreased but the health and wellbeing of staff is put greatly at risk.

Here at InterHealth we understand the devastating effects that can result from bullying and conflict within the workforce and the negative feelings and emotions that may occur due to this. We offer a range of services to prevent such issues as well as to assist with the hurtful affects that can be of consequence if allowed to advance. Many of our services are encompassed within our WorkWell Plan.

Signing up to our WorkWell Plan will enable you and your staff to benefit from personal and confidential support from our highly qualified Occupational Health specialists.

Small Changes, Big Rewards Training Programme

We also have a variety of workshops and free seminars open to all. Courses run at InterHealth and promote the importance of facing conflicts head on and not allowing them to progress and worsen. We educate managers and employees on how workplace abuse issues can develop and on how to recognise bullying behaviours. We also provide valued advice on ways and means to prevent and overcome such matters should they arise.

In addition to our Small Changes, Big Rewards training, we offer specific, individual in-house training, providing ‘a valuable opportunity for busy managers to engage with critical issues in a safe and structured space’(Mark Snelling, Lead Trainer, InterHealth). These courses are moulded to cover the specific issues and concerns of your company and department. Throughout this training, we will work with you to ensure and enable the ultimate working environment for all employees.

For those who have been at the brunt of bullying and felt the painful affects of this, our professional, dedicated staff at InterHealth, offer counselling and continuous support. With a wealth of experience in such matters and great personal expertise, we can provide the highest quality advice and support to those concerned or affected by conflict in the workplace.

Do not allow bullying to go by ignored, ensure that all of your staff are happy and productive within their working environment. Click here for more details on our training programme and WorkWell Plan.
