Anti-Harassment and Bullying Policy for Technology Businesses

What is a Anti-Harassment and Bullying Policy?

An Anti-Harassment and Bullying policy lays out the rules and conduct expected of staff, as well as the process in which accusations and incidents are handled and investigated by the company. Having a policy in place is considered by the courts as a “reasonable step” towards protecting staff, thus adding to a defence for any potential claim.

A: All employees have anti-harassment and bullying responsibilities. But overall responsibility for bullying or harassment in the workplace will fall on the employer.
