Workplace banter can boost morale, strengthen relationships and create a positive team culture. But when does harmless fun become a workplace risk?
As workplace expectations evolve, workplace behaviour is facing greater scrutiny. Some see this as a positive shift, while others question whether jokes, nicknames and banter are being taken too seriously.
Regardless of where you sit, bullying is a psychosocial hazard that businesses are expected to identify and manage. The difficulty is knowing when ordinary interactions have crossed the line, particularly when the behaviour has become part of the workplace culture or no one has formally complained.
Join us for this practical webinar to understand where the line sits, what your obligations are and how to address concerns before they become larger workplace issues.
In just 60 minutes:
- Spot the Signs: Learn how to recognise when banter, jokes and workplace behaviour may have crossed the line
- Your Responsibilities as an Employer: Understand your obligation to provide a safe workplace and take appropriate action when concerns arise
- Responding to Concerns: Understand what to do when an employee raises an issue and whether an informal or formal response may be appropriate
- Protect Your Business: Learn how clear expectations, policies and reporting processes can help prevent harm and support a consistent response
