Morning - Part 1: An OHS model of workplace bullying
This sessionexamines the OHS model of workplace bullying and helps workshop participants better understand the different interpretations of the word ‘bullying’ from both an employee’s perspective and a legal/policy perspective.
It also addresses the overlap between the terms ‘bullying’, ‘harassment’ and discrimination’. The development and maintenance of workplace bullying from a risk management approach is mapped and participants are provided with an OHS model of bullying from which interventions such as mediation can start from. / Afternoon - Part 2: Mediating bullying complaints from an OHS perspective
This session examines the types of bullying complaints that are appropriate for mediation and the arguments for and against mediating workplace bullying complaints.Participants are encouraged to problem solve some of the impediments to mediating bullying complaints and the workshop examines in depth, how mediators can assist both parties to collaborate in identifying organisational factors that have contributed to the complaint.
This part of the workshop also addresses how conflict coaching can assist the parties in the pre- mediation phase, and how the mediator can better work with HR in order to identify systemic issues that have contributed to the alleged behaviours. Issues such as intake, power, confidentiality and sustainability of mediated outcomes are discussed.
