WHY MOST WORKPLACE BULLYING + HARASSMENT POLICIES DON'T WORK + HOW THEY COULD BE MORE EFFECTIVE!

In this podcast, also available as a video on youtube, Alan outlines what he sees as the 6 main flaws that occur in most 'bullying and harassment' policies which lead to inevitable frustration and ineffectiveness as a response to bullying and also in some cases to harassment. He then goes on to detail the reasons why these are significant flaws and the ways in which such policies can be much improved - including the greater effectiveness and clarity that would arise if there were separate policies for bullying and for harassment in recognition of their different legal statuses.   See the video of this podcast at this link: https://youtu.be/smoWRKWIQbY Alan Sharland has been a Mediator and Conflict Coach for over 25 years working in a wide range of dispute situations including neighbour disputes, workplace disputes, complaints (NHS, Special Educational Needs, University Student), group disputes and others.   He was Director of a community mediation service in West London for 11 years and now runs CAOS Conflict Management. https://www.caos-conflict-management.co.uk  Alan's book 'How to Resolve Bullying in the Workplace: Stepping Out of the Circle of Blame to Create an Effective Outcome for All' provides further insight into the ways in which mediation, conflict coaching and particular management approaches to workplace disputes can enable more effective resolution of workplace disputes.  https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Resolve-Bullying-Workplace-Effective/dp/1511941316   If you would like Conflict Coaching via Skype for FaceTime, please contact Alan via this webpage: https://www.caos-conflict-management.co.uk/conflict-coaching.html  Connect with Alan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alansharland If you are looking for consultancy and support in relation to developing more considered, effective bullying and harassment policies, please contact Alan via this webpage: https://www.caos-conflict-management.co.uk/enquiry-page.html   Check out and like the Communication and Conflict Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/communicationandconflict/  Visit the Communication and Conflict website:  https://www.communicationandconflict.com    BOOKS How to Resolve Bullying in the Workplace: Stepping Out of the Circle of Blame to Create an Effective Outcome for All https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Resolve-Bullying-Workplace-Effective/dp/1511941316   A Guide To Effective Communication for Conflict Resolution - How Mindful Communication Supports Growth Through Conflict.
