How do bullying behaviours manifest in the workplace?
Every workplace has the power, and responsibility, to foster respect, empathy, and safety for all.
Acas defines workplace bullying as "unwanted behaviour from a person or group that is either offensive, intimidating, malicious or insulting, or an abuse or misuse of power that undermines, humiliates, or causes physical or emotional harm to someone".
What constitutes workplace bullying whether subtle exclusion, verbal hostility, or abuse of power; undermines trust, mental health, and team performance.
As an HR professional, I lead by example by listening, educating, and intervening early to build cultures where people feel seen, supported, and safe to speak up.
I support employers and help them understand what constitutes workplace bullying and how to create a workplace culture where people respect and behave appropriately towards one another.
If you want to take steps to address bullying, I can help you devise programmes that are aimed at:
✔️ prevention;
✔️ intervention; and
✔️ rehabilitation.
