Bullying Perpetuated By Bosses

New laws are pending. This pending legislation will change the ramifications for companies that don’t prepare for their arrival. This is not a legal discourse, but rather a human discourse on what you as HR staff can do to ensure that you have “bully proofed” your organization.

While we know that 55% of workplace bullying is perpetuated by bosses, the Human Resources Department, where complaints are usually lodged and investigated, is where the buck stops and solutions are found. However, 62% of what is reported to HR is never investigated. In our culture of busy management and HR, it can be easy to overlook seemingly small complaints. However, new laws are coming into effect, some as early as this fall. These laws severely penalize companies that don’t investigate workplace bullying and harassment. Don’t let the laws catch you unaware! Instead of managing with the outdated belief that bullying a subordinate improves productivity and performance, learn new leadership strategies that increase employee satisfaction. This presentation helps human resources staff and management
