Plus, you can try them for free. Think of it as your barometer for people and opportunities to help growth. It'll help you gauge where your company sits in terms of employee interpersonal relationships and team support. These tensions between colleagues or managers can really impact staff productivity and morale. As an employer, you want your staff to feel respected and fairly treated at work. If, therefore, you sniff even the faintest whiff of victimisation or bullying, be the adult and talk to your team.
In all cases, the victim s - so, one or more of your people - are likely to suffer from anxiety, feel degraded, humiliated and unworthy, which is most likely heightened at work. Unfair treatment typically overlaps with discrimination , so we're talking gender, ethnic origin, sexual orientation or pregnancy. For example, if someone is offered a promotion but later mentions they are pregnant and that promotion is withdrawn without what is considered fair explanation, this could be discrimination.
Employers and HR managers must take extra care to spot potential sources of bullying and harassment at work. Bullying and harassment constitute any treatment that leaves an employee feeling degraded, humiliated, offended or intimidated. In addition, an employee might not feel able to complain, particularly if the bully is a manager or more senior than them. As an employer, Suzie could've listened to Paul's concerns and set up an internal meeting to go over the facts and how this made him feel.
That's because before any grievance procedure starts, it's important to make everyone aware of their options for reporting bullying or harassment at work. And, this also helps to keep things confidential. Make sure your formal policy is firmly in place and easily to access - we detail ours within our employee handbook and upload this to Breathe so everyone can see.
Think of your employee handbook as the holy grail of your company's procedures, a how-to-guide for outlining incident reporting as well as setting behaviour expectations and standards to deter unfair treatment.
Our company documents feature on Breathe is perfect for HR users to keep a tally of who's up to date and well-read. We recommend adding a deadline to the most important documents your employee's need to read.
Both you and the employee will receive reminders and updates if it passses the deadline. Company culture has a big impact here.
Especially if you follow a hierarchy , top-down leadership model. Nonetheless, regardless of culture type , ensure that your senior staff and managers set a good example and practise what they preach. Prevention is better than cure. Safeguard your people and promise to put them first by joining our Culture Pledge.
Bullying and harassment is covered under the Equality Act and covers behaviour that makes someone feel intimidated or offended. Now, when we look at bullying, the lines start to blur and the law is muckier — what one person considers as bullying, another may see as simply a case of firmer management styles.
Where you can, try to encourage your employees to communicate and solve issues informally. Thankfully, our management-style is pretty new school, so takes culture seriously. That's why we welcome open door, call anytime, face-to-face interactions and support with all of our team. With Breathe you can gain a more consistent grasp on the health and wellbeing of your team as well as instantly check company policy and procedure documents. Equally, suggest to your employees that they check their company documents and grievance procedure from their Breathe account.
We've found this helpful as it gives your employees more time and privacy when reading their options as well as a chance to make notes and mark questions they can then check with their HR consultant or manager. Oh, and we'll keep you or HR informed, by sending through a notification so you know they've read what they need to. Unfortunately, if the internal grievance procedure remains unresolved after a full two-week investigation and the company's appeal policy been adhered to, it's then moved on to higher ground and shoots further up the ladder.
Make sure your employees are well aware of the free services available to them at such times. Although friendly, remember that each conciliator cannot provide legal advice. What they can do, however, is help you determine if you should seek it elsewhere and then provide you with links to solicitors and further information about legal action in an employment tribunal. Ensure that your anti-bullying and harassment policies are clear as day and easily accessible to staff at all times.

Each one is a case study of sorts, from items that are obviously appropriate or inappropriate to ones which, for one reason or another, are edge cases.
En masse, they teach the Arbiter about the decisions that moderators have made in the past. As the Arbiter moderates new Whispers, it attempts to determine whether each one is acceptable or not and rates its own level of confidence about its analysis. It makes decisions in milliseconds, sometimes less. In some cases, however, a human moderator may approve a Whisper for publication if someone uses such a term in a context that does not suggest endorsement.
On its own, the Arbiter is capable of identifying acceptable and unacceptable Whispers based on evidence that goes beyond use of specific keywords. Thanks to big data, the software also knows about words and phrases which, though not obviously horrifying, are signs of trouble. Then there are the words whose definitions are so fungible that they could mean anything. Describing a movie as a bomb is fine. Saying you plan to bring a bomb to school is not.
Even without help from its human colleagues, the Arbiter is able to sort through such Whispers without generating massive quantities of false positives or false negatives.
