(C) Excellent Qualified Resources : Workplace Bullying - Psychological Harassment and Violence

Updated: Nov 22, 2023

Its a month almost to the day that Ireland participated in Workplace Bullying Awareness Week with a panel of international authors, speakers and specialists in workplace bullying - psychological, harassment and violence.

It is so encouraging and enlightening to meet people who want to speak, support and offer qualified solutions to workplace bullying. Bullying is pernicious, destructive and in many cases fatal. It ruins health, lives, careers and impacts the ability to have a sense of autonomy in the workplace. Its difficult to imagine or believe that a person(s) in the workplace could cruelly undermine your Right to Safety. Targets are subject to a repetitive, intentional and strategic destructive attack and campaign of terror which is often invalidated by the organisation who has a duty of care to protect all employees; this invalidation retraumatises the target(s). One of the hallmarks of workplace abuse is the silence that allows the perpetrators/predators to continue their lethal line of abuse and target employees in the workplace, safe in the knowledge that the organisation will victim-blame and prevent the target(s) from speaking out while rewarding and promoting the bully(s). The following resources are the best relevant research evidence and are also based on the authors' values and experiences.
