Bullying Is Not Limited to the Playground – It’s Time to Take a Breath!

Working short-staffed, not having enough supplies, and challenging resident and staff behaviors can all lead to frustration, stress, and tension. When frustration, stress, and tension are high - a perfect storm is created. This storm is the possibility for bullying, eating our young, and lateral workplace violence to occur. During this webinar, we will identify what bullying and lateral violence are - and what can be done to reduce the risk of this in the workplace through self-care and stress-reduction techniques. This webinar event will also explore the benefits of an employee assistance program. There will also be time for Q & A.

Objectives: After attending this session, participants will be able to:

Describe what bullying and lateral workplace violence are.
Identify methods to create a safe environment.
Discuss methods to reduce stress and improve self-care that can be implemented today.
Explore the benefits of an employee assistance program in reducing stress, frustration, burnout, bullying, and lateral violence.

This webinar is available to AHCA/NCAL provider members only. The webinar will be recorded and available for access after the live event.
