Our anti-harassment and bullying policy template helps you outline clear expectations, responsibilities, and procedures for addressing harassment or bullying in your organization.
Use it to protect your people, foster inclusion, and show your team that you take their wellbeing seriously.
What is an anti-harassment and bullying policy?
This ready-to-use template gives you a structured framework for building your company’s official policy on workplace harassment and bullying.
It defines what harassment and bullying look like (from verbal comments to online behavior) and sets out practical steps for prevention, reporting, and resolution.
Inside, you’ll find clear guidance on:
- Defining different types of harassment and bullying
- Setting responsibilities for leaders and employees
- Explaining reporting procedures (both informal and formal)
- Outlining how investigations and appeals should be handled
- Emphasizing confidentiality and protection from retaliation
It’s designed to help you formalize your stance on unacceptable behavior and make sure every employee knows where they stand.
Who's it for?
This template is built for HR professionals, people leaders, and anyone responsible for shaping workplace culture and compliance.
Whether you’re creating your first policy or updating an existing one, it gives you a professional, compliant foundation to work from.
It’s also a great resource for smaller companies that don’t have in-house legal teams but still want to implement fair, transparent processes that meet HR best practices.
