Discrimination, harassment and bullying are major issues that can affect any workplace – and community pharmacies are no exception.
It is important that pharmacy employees, pharmacy owners and pharmacists can identify and address issues related to discrimination, harassment and bullying.
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia is releasing two new online courses to provide assistance and information to all pharmacy staff in this area.
The first course, developed for pharmacy owners and pharmacists, provides an overview of the governing legislation, responsibilities of senior staff and the pharmacy’s resolution procedure.
A separate course has been specifically tailored for non-pharmacist pharmacy employees to help them in identifying the different responsibilities in the pharmacy in relation to discrimination, harassment and bullying and the process to follow to assist in the resolution of an issue.
Completion of these courses may assist employers to meet their responsibilities for providing staff with training on this important workplace issue.
These online modules are available to Guild members and their employees for $25.00 per person. Pharmacy employees, pharmacists and owners at non Guild member pharmacies can access the course for $125.00 per person
