Harassed in the workplace? Lessons from Schoolyard Bullying!
Thursday, May 31, 2012 - 12 pm Pacific Time

Workplace Bullying is repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons by one or more perpetrators. We've heard lots of public discussion about bullying in the schoolyard but what about the harassment that employees face on the job. Bullying includes verbal abuse, offensive conduct/behaviors and work interference. This can happen anywhere and impacts everyone in the workplace. Come join Dr David Hall, author and professor, and Melissa Regan, award-winning filmmaker and founder of NoDumbQuestions.org as they provide highlights of their recent Out & University Course What Would You do if....going from spectator to ally when bullying occurs. This town call provide tools and insights on what bullying looks like and what you can do, as an individual or company, to create programs and awareness in the workplace and in your communities.

There are times, when we walk into a new job and look around to see who might be LGBT or an ally before deciding whether or not to come out at work. How would you feel or react to finding out that one of the top executives in your company is LGBT? Does it make a difference? Join us during this Pride month as we ask those top executives about their experiences, what it took to come out and how they navigated their careers to the top being LGBT. We will discuss how allies and mentors make a difference in how we do on the job and get some tips from the top on what are the best ways to integrate all of who you are into the job!
