ASB Awareness Week: Stalking Seminar
Colmore BID, in collaboration with West Midlands Women in Transport and ARUP, is pleased to present a Stalking Awareness Seminar, taking place on Monday, 18 November 2024, from 11:00- 3:00pm at ARUP, One Centenary Way, Birmingham.
This informative seminar will focus on the critical issue of stalking and its impact on individuals and workplaces. Our goal is to open up meaningful conversations, raise awareness, and equip attendees with practical knowledge to address and prevent stalking within the business environment.
The event will explore how employers can support their staff, the warning signs of stalking, and the legal and emotional challenges it presents.
Through a series of expert-led discussions, case studies, and Q&A sessions, participants will gain valuable insights into how this issue affects the well-being and safety of employees, as well as the broader implications for workplace culture.
