Workplace bullying can be a health and safety issue. The impact of bullying can cause stress, anxiety and psychiatric injury that can last for many years. It may also infect the workplace, affecting production and the achievement of workplace goals. Employers have a "duty of care" to provide a safe working environment; meaning psychologically safe, as well as physically safe. In this workshop, the presenter will define and give examples of bullying, discuss how it affects people and the organization, how it differs from harassment, and what employees and employers can do about it.
