Workplace Bullying Workshop

Workplace Bullying Workshop

HeadsUp.org, a website providing resources for employees, employers, managers, and small business owners, defines workplace bullying as “repeated and unreasonable behavior directed toward an employee or group of employees that creates a risk to health and safety.” This type of harmful behavior often goes unreported due to the shame and intimidation experienced by the victim. Many of these incidents remain hidden, especially when the bullied employee holds a lower-level position, and the perpetrator is someone with hiring or firing power. However, bullying is not limited to bosses or managers; it can also occur between co-workers at the same level or pay grade.
