I've always thought of the two as distinct: a harassment complaint is usually about the behaviour of just one (or maybe a small group of) individual whereas a grievance is a complaint against the whole institution - e.g. complaining that a department has failed to follow the institution's written procedures maybe. If you keep that distinction, I'm not sure they can be combined, though I guess the processes could mirror one another regards, Deb -----Original Message----- From: "Akpom-Simon, Nneb" <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2007 11:57:03 -0000 Subject: Re: Harassment and Dignity at Work Policy and Grievance Policy Dear colleagues, We are currently reviewing our Harassment and Dignity at Work Policy. Part of the review includes assessing whether this policy can be merged with the Grievance Policy to form a single policy . I would be grateful if you could let me know if your organisation has taken the path of a single policy for both areas. Also, why the organisation has taken this line and how the sensitivity and approach required in dealing with harassment or bullying is dealt with within the policy.
