This is an interactive, experiential workshop built to give your staff the real skills to handle communication, boundaries, and workplace relationships, before any of it turns into a formal problem. Whether that’s sexual harassment, third-party conduct, or the everyday friction that damages working relationships. This is prevention, not reaction.
From 30 October 2026, UK employers face a stronger legal duty on sexual harassment: not just “reasonable steps” to prevent it, but all reasonable steps, under the Employment Rights Act 2025.
At the same time, employers become liable for third-party harassment of any kind, not just sexual, for the first time. That means harassment by clients, customers, contractors and visitors, on any ground, is now squarely in scope.
A signed policy and an annual e-learning module won’t meet that standard anymore.
This workshop gives your staff the practical skills and understanding they need to prevent these issues arising in the first place, not just manage them once they have, for the workplace, and for relationships more broadly.
Naming relationship risk
Relationship breakdowns aren’t just personality clashes, they’re a predictable business risk. This is where the stigma around talking about boundaries and communication at work starts to lift.
Boundaries in practice
How to recognise your own boundaries and say them out loud, without over-explaining or feeling guilty about it. Understanding that everyone’s sense of a boundary looks different, so your people can read that in others too, and where the line sits between a reasonable boundary and an overreaction.
The personal-professional interlock
Work and personal life were never really separate. This gives your team a way to hold that honestly, instead of letting it blur into conflict.
Communicating under pressure
Staying clear and respectful when things get tense. Tone, timing, and how to say a hard thing without doing damage to the relationship.
Together, these give your team the day-to-day skills that sit behind a genuine “all reasonable steps” defence, not just a policy on paper.
The workshop already gets your staff doing the work, not just listening to it. Add an Arrow Break or Glass Walk and you take that a step further, a real, physical moment where each person has to hold their boundary, communicate clearly, and choose differently under actual pressure, not a role-play version of it. It’s the difference between practising a boundary in a group discussion and proving to yourself, in front of the room, that you can hold one. That’s what makes it stick.
