Not a Culture Problem, but a Leadership One: Understanding, Confronting, and Dismantling Workplace Violence

Description:

Bullying. Harassment. Sexual abuse. We keep calling it a culture problem — and that framing is costing people their careers, their health, and sometimes their lives. This session strips away the euphemisms and calls workplace violence exactly what it is: a systemic failure with real victims and real consequences. Drawing on public health frameworks and organizational psychology, HR and People leaders will leave with a sharper lens for identifying violence in all its forms, the language to name it clearly, and evidence-based strategies to actually stop it — not manage it, not "address concerns," but stop it. No more soft landings for hard harm.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

• Define workplace violence comprehensively — including bullying, harassment, and sexual abuse — as a public health issue rather than an interpersonal conflict
• Identify the behavioural, organizational, and systemic indicators that signal a workplace violence problem before it escalates
• Apply evidence-based frameworks to assess organizational risk and intervene with precision and confidence
• Dismantle the cultural myths, minimizing language, and HR habits that protect perpetrators and silence targets
• Design proactive policies and response protocols that prioritize accountability over optics

Who Should Attend:

This session is built for HR professionals, People & Culture leaders, and organizational decision-makers who are done with surface-level responses to serious harm. Whether you're navigating an active situation, rebuilding trust after a failure, or trying to get ahead of the risk — this is for the people with the power to change the system, if they're willing to use it
