Do you need a facilitator or Coach on creating respectful workplace?

A respectful workplace is vital to employee wellness which increases the employee’s productivity.

The training is geared at enhancing the employees’ existing knowledge and skills in workplace violence and harassment, identifying risk factors and best practice corporate solutions to support private sector organisations to take proactive steps to effectively prevent and address instances of workplace violence and harassment.

Addressing gender equality and gender-based violence (GBV) is not only a social and moral imperative but also an economic need. Roughly one in three women worldwide have experienced either non-partner sexual violence or physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence. A recent World Bank Group report estimates the costs of intimate partner violence across five countries to be between 1.2 percent and 3.7 percent of GDP. GBV can impact business operations through workplace bullying and sexual harassment, employees experiencing domestic and sexual violence, and sexual exploitation and abuse connected to the workplace. Gender Based violence does not only affect women in the workplace there are men who are also victims or survivors. Gender based violence does not only happen at home but also at work. These impacts affect employee well-being and can lead to reduced productivity, increased absenteeism, and increased costs associated with employee turnover and security.
