Learn how you can encourage colleagues to value diversity, avoid harassing those who are different from them and get the very best out of their working environment!

Harassment is harmful to employees, employers and customers alike. It can subject individuals to fear, stress and anxiety. Great strains can be put on work, personal and family life. Harassment can lead to illness, accidents, absenteeism, poor performance, an apparent lack of commitment, and staff turnover. It impacts badly on safety, organisational effectiveness and business success.

Every company should be committed to an environment in which equal opportunity is a reality. Everyone should be treated fairly and with respect, and be free from harassment, victimisation and bullying due to age, disability, employment status, gender, health, marital status, nationality, race, religion, sexual preference or social class.
