No Workplace Bullies

Bullying is fostered by your organization.

Your organization's culture, the management styles of your leaders and supervisors, and ineffective internal communication are all things that may be fostering bullies in your workplace.

Internal communication flow is disrupted and organizational goals cannot be met.

As victims circumvent interactions with bullies or avoid asking questions where answers are needed in order to do their job effectively, things stop getting done right.

Your company bottom line is affected by the workplace bully.

Victims of bullying feel anxiety, discouragement and humiliation (and that’s just the beginning) which translates into eroded job attachment and reduced job satisfaction. This means both lower quality work product and reduced productivity, and high absenteeism and turnover.

And that's just the beginning.

Does your organization have a positive culture? Or an aggressive culture?

“I had the pleasure of working with Catherine and her workshop was thorough, informative, and entertaining. Catherine was a professional to work with and a confident, compassionate, and dynamic presenter. She was very well-received by her audience and was given excellent remarks on our evaluation forms. In fact, we liked her so much we are planning on a Part II!”
