This particular event targets people managers\, line managers \, senior leaders and those with accountability for driving inclusion and wellbeing. \n\n\nBackground\nBITC’s Race at Work 2021 survey found that there was an increase in the percentage of employees reporting that their employers gave them support and information to call out bullying and harassment in the workplace. There was an increase from 42% in 2018\, reported by employees of all backgrounds across the UK workforce. In 2021\, 50% of White and White British employees said yes to receiving support from their employer\, compared to 46% of Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and ethnically diverse employees saying yes to receiving support from their employer. \nA clear policy on tackling bullying and harassment in the workplace\, wherever it is found\, is essential to building an inclusive culture where everyone feels they are a valued member of the workforce. \nFind out more about Business in the Community’s focus on people \n\n\nAbout the event\nJoin BITC’s first Bullying and Harassment Peer Learning Forum (PLF). \nThis event will provide members with the opportunity and space to collaborate and delve into understanding\, recognising\, and addressing instances of bullying and harassment in the workplace.
