Today’s episode focuses on a really important subject and it is our pleasure to welcome our guest this week, expert and employment law specialist, Lynne Ingram to talk a little bit about her story and how she is now helping people in the workplace.
Growing up on a farm Lynne led a very active lifestyle and after college successfully joined the fire service to become one the very first female firefighters to serve in Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Service. During her tenure here, which eventually led her to a career change 11 years later to employment law, she spent many of those advocating diversity in the workplace whilst also encountering personal challenges as first female.
We hear from Lynne about the legalities in the difference between bullying and harassment, looking at behaviours that might fall into each and when the time to act is necessary. From something as serious as discrimination to something seemingly harmless as “banter” in the workplace, when are individuals crossing the line and how can we decipher between a balance of having a laugh and causing physical or emotional harm.
Lynne also shares her tips on how to empower you to take action if this happens to you and the best way to go around this before it can become a much bigger issue like having to leave your job.
