What is Workplace Bullying?

Workplace bullying is any repeated, unwanted behaviour intended to intimidate, humiliate, or undermine someone in the workplace. It can take many forms, including verbal abuse, physical aggression, and social isolation. Workplace bullying can affect anyone, regardless of position or seniority.

If you’re experiencing workplace bullying, knowing you’re not alone is essential. You have the right to feel safe and respected at work, and there are steps you can take to address the issue. Don’t suffer in silence – speak up and seek help.

Effects of Workplace Bullying

Workplace bullying can have a devastating impact on both the victim and the organisation. Some of the expected effects of workplace bullying include the following:

Decreased productivity and morale
Increased absenteeism and turnover
Mental health issues such as anxiety and depression
Physical health problems such as headaches and digestive issues
Legal and financial costs for the organisation

If you’re experiencing any of these effects, it’s crucial to take action before the situation gets worse.

Solutions to Workplace Bullying

There are several steps you can take to address workplace bullying:

Speak up: If you’re being bullied, talk to someone you trust, such as a supervisor, HR representative, or colleague. Be clear and specific about what’s happening and how it’s affecting you.
Document the bullying: Keep a record of any bullying incidents, including dates, times, and what was said or done, as this will be useful if you need to escalate the issue.
Seek support: Consider talking to a counsellor or therapist who can help you manage the emotional impact of the bullying. You may also want to seek legal advice if the bullying has become severe.
Create a respectful workplace culture: Organisations can prevent workplace bullying by promoting respectful behaviour, providing training on conflict resolution, and enforcing policies prohibiting bullying.
