Bullying, or psychological violence, need not be tolerated as a routine aspect of employment. It harms individuals and undermines the mission of organizations and companies.
Workplace bullying can be placed in the context of other forms of negative employment conduct. In this webinar, employers will find out about its prevalence, its defining characteristics, the profiles of the players, and the reactions elicited from witnesses and organizations. Practical strategies will be provided for staff and managers to minimize the effects of bullying in organizations where there has not yet been a commitment made for a comprehensive, systemic solution.
