Let's change the way organisations acknowledge victims of work place bullying, victimisation and harrassment and acknowledge what they have been through!
Support organisations to support victims and give better training to managers and HR departments to improve outcomes for victims of workplace bullying.
Let's support victims of bullying to stay in work, being assured that they are listened to, understood and can remain employed! Instead of having to walk away!
Workplace bullying has recently become recognized for what it is — a form of violence that destroys health, careers, and organizations.
Bullying can be physical but in the workplace is more likely to be psychological and emotional. Its effects are devastating. Over time, bullying can destroy a targeted person’s ability to work ever again and can result in death from stress-related conditions like hypertension, or even from suicide.
Popular myth says that bullies only attack weak people. In the workplace the opposite is true. Workplace bullies selectively target people who are competent, people they see as threats to themselves. The purpose of a bully’s attack is to drive a competent person away.
