Book this presentation for your team

Presentation description

In recent years, there has been an increase in inappropriate behaviours that are detrimental to the social connections between work colleagues. To promote and maintain healthy social connections and a safe work environment, a number of courses of action can be explored. These are role-specific and based on the different dimensions of social support. This conference explores social support as a protective behavior against incivility, harassment and violence in the workplace.
