Register now for WFP’s Fall 2024 Workplace Bullying Webinar Series!
The Women’s and Fair Practices Departments understand the role that our Union can play in fostering supportive, compassionate, and productive workplaces across federal and D.C. government agencies. As Union Members, we know that the workplace can be a stressful environment. Whether it's dealing with high job demands, poor relationships with supervisors or colleagues, navigating challenging situations, or simply trying to balance work and personal life, our jobs can take a toll on our mental well-being.
WFP recognizes that workplace bullying and toxic work environments are something that AFGE members deal with everyday. That’s why this year, WFP is again partnering with the Workplace Bullying Institute to offer a series of webinars on workplace bullying. For your convenience, we will be hosting two sessions of each portion of the series – one in the evening, and one in the afternoon.
