Is Everyone Holed up their Cubicles Afraid to Share their Voices?: How to create a healthy, happy workplace*

When you look out from your office, is everyone holed up in their cubicles afraid to share their voice? Are people afraid to speak up for fear of not being heard or, even worse, for fear of people misusing their words? It is a little known fact that harassment, discrimination and bullying runs rampant in the workplace, but consider that 15 million adults report that they suffer from severe psychological aggression each week. In this presentation, participants will learn:

• The definition of workplace bullying and the various forms it takes—including harassment, violence, psychological bullying, gossiping and cyberbullying—and its impact on employee health, family life and workplace productivity
• Tools and strategies to treat colleagues with respect and toleration in any situation
• Anger management and coping mechanisms
• Tips to align their personal goals and dreams with their professional tasks to further increase their enjoyment and interest in their work
• Ways companies can develop proper protocols and procedures for reporting, investigating and addressing bullying concerns
• How HR, company leadership and employees can all leverage their company's anti-bullying policies with ongoing protocols and strategies to develop a workplace culture that fosters inclusion, effective communication and heightened team building and productivity
