SHRM 2016 Handouts

by Catherine MatticeMay 25, 2016

If you attended the SHRM 2016 Conference in Washington DC, here are the handouts I showed in my presentation:

Setting expectations worksheet (for managers and supervisors to use in working with employees)
Roles of bystanders (information about each role a bystander may play in a bullying situation)

Here are some additional tools you can use with your staff or managers:

Examples of bullying behavior (a list of behaviors from each category of behavior, aggressive communication, humiliation, and manipulation)
Culture assessment (find out if your organization has a culture of bullying)
Professionalism job aid (a job aid managers can follow as they have an open discussion with their staff about professionalism in your workplace)

Enjoy!

Do you know how much money chronically bad behavior costs your company? Spoiler alert – it’s a LOT higher than you want it to be. Download our data and worksheet to see how it’s costing your organization and what you can do to fix it.
