Bullying and Harassment in
the Workplace
.... developing a positive work
culture – a better place to be
“I felt terrified
… I couldn’t believe I could feel like this about
going to work …”
“It got to the point
where I would check the rota each day. Then you knew what
sort of day you were in
for”
“It never happened in
front of anyone … always when we were alone”
“I couldn’t
believe how I felt, completely invisible”
“Sunday nights were
the worst, another week of misery ahead”
“What was the point in
telling anyone?
Everyone else thought she was great.
She wasn’t to me though …”
“People said
‘That’s just what he is like, you’ll get
used to it’. I just found it humiliating.
I couldn’t think.”
“Look, this is firm
management.
They just don’t like to hear unpopular decisions”
“Some of the staff say
that she is really aggressive; I don’t see it
….”
Do any of these sound familiar?
These are just some of the things we have
heard when working with this
difficult subject. Changing
things takes
courage. It can be
done alone. But it
is better done together. The most
successful programmes involve what we see as changing culture. It includes commitment to
dignity and
respect, it may include awareness workshops and briefings. It does not include
tolerating abuse of power
or negative behaviour at any level.
We
specialise in this area and can help you develop a team approach to
providing a positive work culture – a better place to be.
