Dealing with the Workplace Bully
The cost of bullying in the workplace is very high, and very likely to get a lot higher. Organizations are losing some of their best employees because of bullying, and bullying can lead to more tragic consequences.
What You Will Cover
There have been several cases in Canada and the US where harassed and bullied employees have taken matters into their own hands and killed their bullying boss or colleague or brought a lawsuit against them. Now governments are beginning to crack down, and the courts have begun to send a very strong message to employers that they are expected to do something to stop the harassment and intimidation. But what is bullying and what can you - a colleague, manager, or government employee -- do about it?
- What is bullying? Whose issue is it?
- Workplace bullying, like childhood bullying, is the tendency of individuals or groups to use persistent aggressive or unreasonable behaviour against a co-worker or subordinate. The Bullying course will give you information on how to recognize when bullying is happening and who to go to with concerns.
- Side effects and costs of bullying
- There are many after effects of bullying, whether physical or mental. It can cause stress, anxiety, etc. The Bullying course will make you aware of the effects bullying has on us mentally and physically.
- What can the employees themselves do?
- If you or someone you know is being bullied it is important to tell someone. Chances are, you aren't the only one who is dealing with a bully in your workplace. The Bullying course will give you some information about what to do if you or someone you know is being bullied.
- What can managers do?
- As a manager you should always be aware of the chance of having a workplace bully in your organization. You should make it known to all of your employees that they can come to you if they need help. When they know they can trust you they are more likely to come speak to you about problems. The Bullying course will give you tips on how to communicate with your employees so that they feel comfortable talking to you.
- What can organizations do?
- It's extremely important for every organization to make it very clear that they will not accept any type of bullying in the workplace. The organization's employees should be aware of the consequences of bullying and who they should go to if they know of any bullying. The Bullying course will give you information on how to communicate this to all employees in your organization.
- Other types of bullying
- Although physical and verbal bullying are often assumed to be the only types of bullying, they aren't. Bullying comes in many other forms. The Bullying course will make you aware of the other types of bullying so that you are better equipped to deal with possible bullying in your workplace.
