Bullying at work is an abrasive force that requires strict management from business leaders. Its detrimental effects on employees and workplace culture cannot be ignored. Aside from the initial impact on wellbeing, self-esteem and confidence, bullying chips away at trust, collaboration and overall job satisfaction within the workplace.
Business leaders must therefore be prompt in addressing claims of bullying to mitigate long-term damage on organisational and individual employee morale. In proactively managing workplace bullying, organisations can create clear procedures and policies that protect and support victims of bullying, and emanate the message that bullying is not tolerated.
