Workplace Behaviours – New Zealand

Product Description

A many as one in three NZ workers report experiencing workplace bullying each year – the aim of this course is to address problems like this at a cultural level, instead of simply training staff on their legal obligations.

Workplace Behaviours Training Course

This course – based on our award-winning Australian course, and customised to reflect the experiences of NZ workers – includes, and goes beyond, standard sexual harassment training and anti-bullying training. GRC Solutions team decided to use this particular historical moment to create a new Workplace Behaviours course that brings together the concepts and tools of breach prevention with an aspirational push for organisations to create and promote their own diverse and inclusive cultures, within a single narrative arc.

Changing workplace cultures by changing behaviours

The consequences of workplace bullying, discrimination and harassment have never been more widely known.

Bullying, discrimination and sexual harassment can harm individuals mental health and safety. They can lead to heavy costs for organisations, including reputational damage, compensation orders and high staff turnover.

What should you do if you see a colleague being bullied? Where does flirting stop and harassment begin? How do you prevent uncomfortable or unsafe situations from taking place?

Anyone can be a victim, perpetrator or bystander, and everyone has a role to play in creating a workplace culture where diversity is valued and individual dignity is respected.

This workplace behaviours training course provides tools for learners to recognise and prevent unacceptable behaviour, and outlines practical support for individuals who experience bullying, discrimination or sexual harassment.

The New Zealand course includes specific references to New Zealand workplace law, complaints handling processes, and local issues, such as

  • Māori reporting a higher incidence of bullying and harassment than Pākeh?
  • Particular concerns relating to the NZ Hospital sector
  • NZ resources such as Netsafe
  • Racism experiences in the workplace affecting Māori, Pasifika and Muslim staff
  • Local cases, examples and scenarios

Manager-specific modules focus on strategies and procedures for managing incidents.

The training also explores how becoming aware of our unconscious biases, developing our cultural competence and promoting accessibility can make our workplaces truly diverse and inclusive.

Who should do this training?

This course caters to the whole organisation, with specific modules for managers and supervisors on how to identify misconduct and address complaints.

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.
