Most HR policies fail to deal with modern bullying, discrimination and harassment challenges - including after-hours misconduct and misuse of social networks - says workplace lawyer Brad Swebeck.

In this presentation, he and fellow Hicksons Lawyers partner Stewart Cameron outline:

• How to detect, prevent and manage bullying, discrimination and harassment;
• New psychological injury risks posed by misuse of social networks/media;
• What to include in bullying and harassment policies;
• Your rights and responsibilities when managing employees' out-of-hours behaviour;
• Appropriate responses to employee complaints;
• Lessons to be learned from successful claims brought against employers;
• How to defend spurious claims;
• How to avoid claims arising from performance management; and
• HR managers' liability for psychological injury under the existing and new OHS national framework.
