Tuesday with PEER's - Breaking the Silence: Understanding and Preventing Workplace Bullying

Workplace bullying is often referred to as the "silent epidemic"—a deeply damaging behavior that many endure without ever speaking out. This training is designed to shed light on the realities of bullying at work, empowering you to recognize, respond to, and help prevent it.

Through this session, you'll gain clarity and actionable knowledge, including:

• Clear Definitions – Understand what workplace bullying is (and isn't).
• Behavioral Signs – Learn how bullying manifests, both overtly and subtly.
• Teasing vs. Bullying – Distinguish between playful interactions and harmful behavior.
• Organizational Impact – Explore how bullying affects morale, productivity, and retention.
• Psychological Consequences – Recognize the mental and emotional toll of persistent mistreatment.
• Preventive Strategies – Discover ways to create a respectful, supportive workplace culture.
• Support Techniques – Learn how to assist someone who is being bullied.
• Self-Protection Tools – Equip yourself with strategies to safeguard your own mental and physical well-being.

By the end of this training, you won't just be informed, you'll be prepared to make a difference.
