Workplace Bullying - What we know, who is to blame and what can we do? (Paperback)

Workplace bullying is an area that has attracted significant press attention through the past decade. A variety of well publicised surveys ave reveale that this is as issue endemic within working life in Britian; and at a conservative estimate, over half the working population can expect to experience bullying at work (either directly by being bullied, ir through witnessing it) at some stage in their careers. This is now seen as a disturbing event, with something like a fifth of witnesses and a quarter of direct targets leaving their organisations.
This serious damage to individuals has been accorded little direct research in Britian, 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 the of court cases, have both served to focus the attention of the employers on the need to deal with the issue. The recent strike vote at Ford in Dagenham, asking the employer to enforce existing anti-harrasment policies, highlights the fact that having paper polices is not enough.
This book is derived from the largest study ever carried out on workplace bullying, supported by the CBI, TUC, Federation of Small Businesses, IPD and HSE among others. This study has covered 5,500 people, but the book goes beyond it to explore all the issues associated with what is becoming a majr issue in organisations.
