Practical Vs Theory

Course overview

This qualification will focus on the study of possible causes of violence in the workplace and how to reduce the risk of workplace violence and harassment.

Workplace violence and harassment can have huge consequences for employers, employees and the work environment. The Trades Union Congress (TUC) estimates that 29% of people have been bullied at work, and more than 1 in 3 people who report being bullied leave their job because of it.

Understanding about effective communication and ways to reduce conflict in the workplace will help to create a more positive working environment, benefiting both employers and employees, and improving job satisfaction, health and well-being, and productivity.
