Tina Chander is employment law partner at Wright Hassall - a UK legal firm whose surveys into UK workplace bullying reveal gaps in employer and employee understanding of what constitutes workplace bullying, and a high proportion of people who've either been bullied themselves or witnessed it happening to their colleagues.

What can we learn from the findings of Wright Hassall’s bullying surveys about the state of workplace bullying and harassment in the UK and other countries?

What are Tina’s perspectives as an experienced employment law partner on the impact of bullying, harassment and sexual harassment, and the questions that employees and employers need to think about?

In this episode, Tina provides her perspectives on differentiating banter, bullying, discrimination and harassment, and some of the key steps required for UK employers to act fairly and proportionately in preventing and addressing workplace bullying and sexual harassment.
