National Ban Bullying at Work Day
By Tony Larkin
Ban Bullying at Work Day on 7th November 2007 is gaining in popularity year on year.
With over 2 million people subject to bullying in the workplace it's no wonder. Workplace bullying is now a major cause of stress related illness and is one of the main reasons for lost time off work
It's easy to think of bullying in the workplace as a small problem, something that only happens very rarely to very few people. Maybe that's because we don't hear about it very often so we just assume it isn't going on. Bullying at work has been a silent disease up till now, but with public attention growing around this insidious behaviour at the workplace, silence will not be accepted as a response any longer.
Bullying in the workplace is not as obvious as we think - there's a fine line between a strong work style and bullying behaviour which can make an individual feel demeaned and inadequate.
