Is your workplace psychologically safe? Do you and your staff know how to properly prevent or respond to incidents involving workplace bullying, sexual harassment, or domestic violence?
Most companies understand their legal requirement to create a physically safe workplace. Did you know you also have legal requirement to create psychological safety and prevent harm?
“Meet Ruthann” –
Hi, I'm Ruthann Weeks, Principal Consultant at Harmony In The Workplace. Through my years as an HR professional, I've seen first hand the devastating consequences to both workplaces and employees when companies are not prepared to prevent or respond to incidents involving psychological harm. This can cause even more harm to the target of abuse and lead to costly fines when cases are mismanaged. I am passionate about providing workplaces with the understanding and tools they need to create comprehensive plans to keep employees safe and help them remain compliant.
““Ruthann is excellent to work with! She knows her material and delivers it well. I was engaged and found it very interesting to learn more about the psychosocial factors that affect a business. Ruthann moves through the materials well and she offered strategies I was able to implement right away.”

Consider what could happen when you are not prepared:
One viral video if an incident of employee bullying or harassment at your workplace could:
Expose you to costly legal challenges and fines
Damage your business reputation that you have worked so hard to build
Result in lost customers
Potentially cause hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue
Re-traumatize a person experiencing workplace abuse
You also risk losing your best employees – whom you know are not easily replaced.
Can you afford to take these risks? Do you want to?
If not, what if instead you and your staff were properly trained on how to prevent psychological harm at your workplace? And, in the event that an incident occurred, you knew exactly how to respond in a professional, dignified and legally-appropriate manner?
