- RECOMMENDED FOR MANAGERS & EMPLOYEES - When most people hear the
word harassment with respect to the work place, they almost
immediately think of sexual harassment. Although sexual harassment
still plagues the workplace, there is another form of harassment on
the rise: workplace bullying. The impact of workplace bullying is
similar to that of other forms of harassment and discrimination
including reduced productivity, undue stress and increased conflict.
However, there is no federal or state law in place prohibiting
bullying in the workplace.
Movies like The Devil Wears Prada are raising awareness about
workplace bullies and there’s nothing fictional about the issue. In
recent polls, 37% of workers in the U.S. reported that they've been
bullied at work (Workplace Bullying Institute and Zogby
International). Wise employers aren't waiting for public mandates to
force them to implement anti-bullying policies. They recognize that
the only way to retain employees, stimulate recruitment and maintain a
healthy, happy and more productive workforce is to have a zero
tolerance policy.
In this training, participants will learn what workplace BULLYING IS
AND THE VARIOUS FORMS BULLYING TAKES. The training addresses abusive
bosses, co-workers and clients. It explains both how to avoid BULLYING
BEHAVIOR AND HOW BEST TO RESPOND.
