In this episode of Wellness in the Workplace, I sat down with HR specialist Boniwe Dunster to talk about how employees can empower themselves in toxic work environments. With the new Code of Good Practice on the Prevention and Elimination of Harassment in the Workplace, employees are protected from harassment in the workplace in relation to violence, physical abuse, psychological and emotional abuse including workplace bullying, sexual abuse, gender-based abuse and racial abuse. The Code became effective on 18 March 2022.
