"Dignity at work: On Paper or In Practice?"

Please add the details of family members here.

Being valued, being listened to, and being treated with respect are just some of the things that add up to a Dignified Workplace. Research tells us that if we combine dignified work with a dignified workplace then we will have dignified workers. We believe that by focusing on the actions that support building a dignified workplace we will be successful in tackling bullying and harassment and make sure people do feel valued, listened to, and treated with respect as they go about their work in the NHS. Doing work of social value, i.e. work that is recognised as ‘good work’ is what researchers call dignified work, and we believe that every role in the NHS fits the bill as every one of us contributes to the health and wellbeing of the nation. Bullying and harassment are common problems affecting many members at work. But both bullying and harassment are unacceptable, and the law makes it clear that all employees have the right to work in a safe environment. The employer is responsible for creating and maintaining a safe workplace, free from bullying, intimidation, and harassment. Employees are protected by a combination of employers’ policies and legislation. There should be a zero-tolerance approach to harassment, bullying, and victimisation. Harassment and bullying can have very serious consequences for individuals. It may make people unhappy, may cause them stress, and affect their health, and family and social relationships. It may also affect their work performance and could cause them to leave their jobs. This conference, organised by BAPIO in collaboration with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Kings Lynn will discuss and debate the issues related to dignity at work.
