The Centre for Research on Workplace Behaviours at the University of Glamorgan Business School is hosting the 7th International Conference on Workplace Bullying and Harassment in June, the first time the conference will visit Wales.
The conference, ‘Transforming Research: Evidence and Practice’, returns to the UK after an eight year gap and brings together researchers, academics and practitioners at a world- class three day event.
The aim of the conference is to share knowledge and understanding around the issues of bullying, harassment, discrimination and violence in the workplace.
Co-chair of the conference Professor Duncan Lewis of the Glamorgan Business School said, “This should be an excellent opportunity to bring together world experts to discuss how we take forward the theory and practice of these important workplace issues. We are delighted to be hosting the seventh occasion of this International conference.”
Keynote speakers include renowned expert Professor Staale Einarsen from the University of Bergen in Norway, Professor David Yamada of the Suffolk Business School in Boston USA, and Professor Ralph Fevre lead expert on the UK Government’s 2nd Fair Treatment at Work Survey. Other speakers include Denise Salin from Finland, Dr Gary Namie from the USA and Rachael Maskell from Unite the Union.
Professor Michael Sheehan, Co-chair of the conference commented, “We are delighted that we have been able to attract many of the leading researchers and practitioners in the field to be the keynote speakers at the conference. Equally, we are excited that there is an international flavour to the conference, with delegates coming from across the globe.”
The conference – June 2-4 at the Cardiff Hilton – will welcome 200 delegates, with papers being presented by delegates from as far afield as countries such as Australia, New Zealand, North America, Japan and Brazil.
