Workplace Bullying
Workplace bullying is toxic behaviour which affects everyone, but it can be difficult to distinguish just when it is happening. It is inherent in the ways individuals in the workplace interact that a certain amount of banter and even more robust exchanges are a natural part of workplace lore. Combative humour, jibes and friendly put-downs are common and even acceptable in many working environments making it difficult to draw the line between acceptable behaviour and bullying or harassment.
I advise organisations on how to reduce the risk of bullying, and run training events for managers and staff, as prevention is better than cure.
I also coach individuals who find themselves victims of unacceptable behaviour and I have produced a self-help manual for people who are being bullied.
