Gambling-related harm can affect much more than an individual’s finances. Within the workplace, it may contribute to declining concentration, absenteeism, emotional distress, repeated borrowing, safety concerns, family-related crises and increased organisational vulnerability.

Managers and workplace professionals may notice some of these difficulties without knowing how to respond. Some warning signs may be ignored, while others may be incorrectly treated as proof of addiction or misconduct.

This practical self-paced programme equips participants to recognise possible gambling-related workplace harm and respond in a fair, supportive and proportionate manner.

AI for Workplace Productivity and Responsible Use is a practical, beginner-friendly online course designed to help professionals use generative artificial intelligence safely, ethically and effectively in their daily work.

The course moves beyond general awareness to show participants how AI can support workplace activities such as drafting documents, conducting research, summarising information, preparing meetings, creating presentations, analysing problems and improving routine administrative processes.

Participants also learn to recognise the limitations and risks of AI, including inaccurate outputs, confidentiality breaches, bias, plagiarism, copyright concerns and inappropriate dependence on automated tools. Through practical examples, guided exercises and workplace scenarios, participants develop responsible AI practices that can be applied immediately.
