TrainingBriefs® Preventing Workplace Bullying

Workplace bullying, also known as abusive conduct, can have devastating effects on both organizations and individuals. We are hearing more and more about bullying - so much so, that several states have legislation outlawing bullying - even categorizing it as a legal issue.

Bullying and abusive conduct are defined as persistent, offensive, intimidating or insulting behavior that makes victims feel upset, threatened, humiliated (not good enough, stupid, incompetent) or vulnerable.
