Workplace bullying casts a long shadow over teams, reflecting declines in productivity and growth, ultimately leading to talent loss.
Breaking the Cycle of Workplace Bullying
Most Important Policy
Establish a clear, robust anti-bullying policy underpinned by a zero-tolerance stance. Your policy should clearly define what constitutes bullying and outline the appropriate response when it occurs.
Leadership's Initiative
Leaders' commitment proves crucial not only for financial decisions but also for modelling cultural change within the workplace.
Culture of Openness
In a culture of openness, talent and crew are protected from professional repercussions, allowing open and honest dialogues that can defuse tensions often leading to bullying.
Feedback Mechanism
Establishing a confidential feedback mechanism is essential to prevent bullying escalation and ensure accountability.
Regular Review
Anti-bullying policy functions as a living document that should evolve through continuous feedback. Third-party surveys guaranteeing confidentiality will generate honest and authentic responses.
