Description
The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce will host a Chamber University seminar on “Bullying in the Workplace” on Tues., Feb. 10, from 8 a.m.-11:30 a.m. at Covenant Knipling Education Conference Center.
The seminar will feature Frank Mulcahy, Certified Workplace Bullying Specialist. Mulcahy will educate those in attendance on what bullying in the workplace is and how to take action against it. He will guide attendees through this process so businesses will avoid turnover of their best and brightest employees, minimize litigation expenses, boost employee engagement and guarantee retention.
The second half of the seminar Mulcahy will further delve into bullying by discussing "The Misuse and Abuse of Social Media," Mulcahy will discuss how social media is as prone to misuse as your computer is to a virus. It can cost you time, profits, company image, and reputation, as well as potential legal actions. Mulcahy will discuss why educating your employees when using Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc., is vital. Identity thieves use social media sites for personal, financial, and criminal activity. This part of the seminar will teach you how to protect yourself and your organization from these pit falls by changing thinking, changing behavior, and managing risk.
Chamber University will also award certificates for Continuing Education Units for those interested. This seminar will award .3 hours of 1 CEU (3 out of 10 hours). Those wishing to sign up for a CEU credit, please call the Chamber of Commerce.
