Psychosocial risks: training for internal contact persons

Prerequisites

The workplace psychosocial risk assessment checklist must have been completed and the company’s own “Personal Integrity” concept finalised. Please bring the relevant documents to the course.

Target audience

Internal contact persons, ASIBs, safety officers (SIKO) and HR.
Ensure that internal contact persons of both sexes are available and that they are outside the line management structure (i.e. not supervisors).

Benefits for the company

With the appropriate concept and trained internal contact persons, the company meets the legal requirements under Art. 328 CO and Art. 6 EmpA to protect personal integrity. In cases of bullying, sexual harassment, discrimination and violence, procedures are clear, and the person concerned can seek a hearing, information and support from one of the internal contact persons at an early stage.

Benefits for participants

Participants will learn the relevant terminology, legal foundations, procedures and possible courses of action. Practical exercises will help them develop the counselling skills needed to support people in these difficult situations.

Course content

• Definitions of key terms, with examples
• Preventive measures
• Legal foundations: internal and external procedures
• Intervention
• Procedural steps
• Counselling conversations: process, practical examples and exercises
