Workplace Bullying and Workplace Violence
Barbara Semeniuk in this topic addresses the subject of Workplace Bullying and Workplace Violence. It is a little known fact that Canada is in the top three countries in the world with workplace violence issues. People die because this topic is not adequately addressed in emergency response plans and corporately. Workplace Bullying is more an issue in workplaces than sexual discrimination and racial harassment. It cuts across all levels of employees, amongst all religious, sexual and racial lines. It is the number one issue why people leave and/or experience anxiety and suffering on the job. Often it is condoned as just that managers or subordinate’s behaviour especially if they are productive. Often corporate bullies will select victims who report to him and/or her and cannot readily fight back. Victims offer suffer greatly and some have snapped killing coworkers and the bullying person indiscriminately. In Barbara’s opinion just like MADD changed the view on driving while drunk and there is zero tolerance to schoolyard bullying.....a change in corporate behaviour must occur and zero tolerance should be granted towards workplace bullies and associated workplace violence issues.
