Workplace bullying – are you handling it?
Be honest here business owners – how comfortable are you with the thought of tackling a workplace bully? What do we even mean by that – what does bullying look like?
That’s the problem, it can take many forms. The impact though, can be significant and not only for the person being bullied but for those around them, watching it happen but not knowing what to do.
The good news is bullying behaviour can often be stopped if acted on quickly. The problem is, we don’t always see the early signs or we do, but we don’t know how to tackle it. Just because we’re managers doesn’t mean we naturally have a gift for fixing these things.
We can give you the tools to proactively tackle workplace disputes and bullying. As well as tackling the situation itself and not allowing it to become a distraction, it sends a strong message to everyone else that you won’t tolerate it. A survey by the CIPD (Managing Conflict in the Modern Workplace, January 2020) highlighted that while many employees felt confident to speak up about bullying only 44% felt the matter was subsequently fully or largely resolved.
Don’t be part of the statistic; get in touch and we’ll give you the tools to tackle the issue so you can all get on with the job, in a happier environment.
