Bullying at the workplace is a serious issue that can have major consequences for employees and the organization. HR has to nip it in the bud before it spirals out of control.
Very quickly, bullying includes all or any of these:
- Swearing at other employees
- Harassing
- Humiliating
- Threatening
- Abusing
- Interfering in another colleague’s work,
- Intimidating, and the like.
Bullying at the workplace, like violence, is a fact of life. At differing levels, it is prevalent almost globally. Having said this, it is not apt for HR to accept this fact and go on with life. HR has a major responsibility of ensuring that workplace bullying has to be dealt with effectively.
