Förlagets beskrivning
Workplace bullying is an area that has attracted significant press
attention throughout the last decade. A variety of well publicized surveys have
revealed that this is an issue endemic in working life in Britain; and, at a
conservative estimate, over half the working population can expect to
experience bullying at work (either directly by being bullied, or through
witnessing it) at some stage in their careers. This is now seen to be a
disturbing event, with something like a fifth of witnesses and a quarter of
direct targets leaving their organizations.This serious damage to individuals
has been accorded little direct research in Britain, although it has resulted
in court cases brought under health and safety and equal opportunities
legislation. The recognition of the problem and the emergence of court cases,
have both served to focus employers on the need to deal with the issue. The
recent strike vote at Ford in Dagenham, asking the employer to enforce existing
anti-harassment policies, highlights the fact that having paper policies is not
enough. Workplace Bullying is derived from the largest survey ever carried out on
workplace bullying, supported by the CBI, TUC, Federation of Small Businesses,
IPD, and the HSE among others. This study covered 5,500 people, but the book
goes beyond it to explore all the issues associated with what is becoming a
major issue in organizations. A variety of well publicised surveys have revealed that bullying in the
workplace is an issue endemic within working life in Britian. This book goes
beyond the studies to explore all the issues associated with what is becoming a
major problem.
