Bullying and harassment in the workplace can take many forms. Sometimes it's obvious, such as verbal abuse, intimidation, and humiliation. Other times it's subtle and indirect, such as rumor spreading and exclusion.
No matter the form they take, these behaviours can cause emotional and psychological distress, decreased job satisfaction and even physical health consequences. Employers may notice increased employee turnover as a result of bullying and harassment.
We all play a role in creating safe, healthy, and civil workplaces. If you're not sure where to start, having a bullying and harassment policy and procedures is an important first step.
