Addressing Bullying in the Workplace (Enhanced DVD)

Bullying in the workplace needs to be managed in order to avoid a culture of fear from developing in the organization. This can quickly make the workplace toxic and difficult to exist in. This can be turned around by education staff, putting procedures in place so that intimidation is reported, and having managers who are empathetic to problems and work to resolve them as quickly as possible. The program goes into strategies about how to prevent workplace bullying and uses expert interviews and dramatized scenes for education. A worksheet is included and can be downloaded. (25 minutes)
