How to Prevent and Respond to Bullying at Work

Course description

Bullying is something many of us may have experienced as kids—from one side or the other, either as the bully or the one being bullied. But when we become adults, we expect that kind of behavior to remain behind in childhood and adolescence. Unfortunately, that may not always be the case. Bullies often remain bullies into adulthood and continue to prey on those they feel they can intimidate and push around. It should come as no surprise, then, that bullying is sometimes a problem in the workplace. In fact, in some cases, it is a serious problem with serious negative consequences for individuals, the work environment, and an organization’s productivity and success.
Today, we’re going to talk about bullying in the workplace. We’ll discuss why it’s a problem and what you can do about it, whether you’re the one being bullied or whether you are aware of coworkers who are being bullied.
