No Workplace Bullies

What is Workplace Bullying?

Workplace bullies use negative, aggressive, extremely unprofessional, inappropriate and hurtful tactics against subordinates, peers, and even superiors. Bullies use intense and severe aggressiveness because feel threatened by someone or something happening within the organization, and therefore are attempting to regain power.

An abundance of research and anecdotal evidence indicates bullying is highly prevalent in the workplace and invites serious damaging consequences for victims, witnesses and the organization itself. Indeed, 30 - 54% of working adults report having been bullied at some point in their working lives. Targets experience distress, humiliation, anger, anxiety, discouragement, hopelessness, depression, burnout, reduced quality and quantity of work, lower levels of job satisfaction, increased absenteeism and turnover and in some cases even Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). For the organization, all of this ads up to loss to the bottom line, communication breakdown and even a bad reputation within the community.
