On Wednesday, 29th of September, we hosted "Advertising Stands Up To Harassment".
Earlier this summer, shocking stories of workplace harassment in the UK Advertising Industry led IAPI to reach out to their members on this issue. IAPI members directly employ over 2000 people and, as the industry body, IAPI’s role is to help members provide a diverse, inclusive, and safe work environment across the industry.
This webinar is intended to raise awareness of these issues and educate our members as to what now constitutes harassment at work.
Following an industry consultation, we will launch the PEOPLE PROTECTION PLEDGE and encourage sign up from industry leaders to demonstrate their support in obliterating any such behaviours within our industry.
We were delighted to present our keynote speaker, Mary McDermott (CEO) from Safe Ireland who eloquently educated participants on the subjects of harassment, workplace micro aggressions, identifying inappropriate behaviours and the skills required to deal with such issues.
We also hosted a panel discussion with Darragh Brennan from the Department of Justice and Yvonne Caplice from their partner agency TBWA, who worked on the recent "No Excuses" campaign.
David Bergin, is a health promotion officer with Spectrum.Life who provides our Employee Assistance Programme, smash and David explains the process of engaging with your smash EAP, how to connect and who in your family is covered by this invaluable resource.
Moderated by IAPI CEO Charley Stoney, this webinar proved to be very popular and we are delighted to be able to provide you with the recording here if you were unable to attend.
