Plus, it will offer insights to better understand reactions to change and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Is it bullying or banter?

In high-pressure environments like rail or construction, banter is often part of the job. But when does harmless fun cross the line into bullying? This session tackles the fine balance between camaraderie and crossing boundaries, helping you recognise the difference and build a positive work culture. Through real-world scenarios and practical insights, we’ll explore how to keep the site, and office, a safe and respectful place for everyone—without losing the laughs.
