Thoughts on Workplace Bullying
We hosted and attended a workshop this week on workplace bullying and Harassment, interestingly enough on Anti-Bully Day February 28.
How encouraging to see Princeton business engage in these discussions with an aim to address issues and improve the workplace.
We learned there are 3 types of harassment: Discriminatory ~ which is harassment that infringes on a persons basic Human Rights, Sexual ~ which is harassment that crosses over from Discriminatory (ie Gender based) and into a harassment that involves intimidation and abuse of power and finally the area of Personal harassment ~ which sees a pattern of behaviour that continuously singles someone out and crosses into physical, verbal and mental intimidation and assaults.
If you believe that you may have an issue there are laws and agencies that can help.
