Submission History: Motion by Councillor Jill Pidgeon:- "In recent times, violence in the workplace has been increasing. Violence in the workplace severely impacts the physical and mental wellbeing of employees, damages morale and impacts productivity and effectiveness. Council recognises that all individuals have the right to work in an environment that is free from violence, intimidation, bullying and harassment, irrespective of their job role or position. Council acknowledges that to combat violence in the workplace, effective policies, proactiveness and a commitment to creating a culture of respect, openness and safety is essential. Council recognises that we have a responsibility to lead by example, in preventing and addressing workplace violence and promoting best practice with partners and key stakeholders. Council also recognises the need for a zero-tolerance policy. Glasgow City Council should be striving to halt all forms of workplace violence, in all sectors that our workforce are employed in, whether that be teaching staff, care staff, support staff or management. To achieve this, we must hold those responsible to account, through fair investigation and the appropriate disciplinary measures, and if necessary, legal action." Help Icon
