Workplace Bullying Play - Bullying at work wears a lot of faces

The cost of unaddressed bullying isn’t just turnover

Workplaces that mistake harassment for banter are one complaint away from a very expensive lesson.

‘Much Ado About Hector’ is an interactive, theatre based play which allows workshop participants to explore the complexities of workplace bullying. The audience sees the behaviours unfold before their eyes, and have an opportunity to influence the actions of the characters, live.

Workplace bullying is a complex issue which is often misunderstood. What one person sees may not be what another person sees. Perception, limited information, and emotions affect whether an incident is identified and how it is managed.

Changes to how bullying is handled commenced from 1 January 2014 under the Fair Work Act 2009. These changes place greater responsibilities on employers to have grievance procedures in place and to follow them.

This play is part of our immersive corporate theatre experiences which involve professional actors and real-life scenarios. They provide a creative avenue for your organisation to educate your managers and staff about unlawful workplace behaviours and the consequences. It works well with small groups right up to conference-size audiences.
