Breaking the Cycle of Workplace Bullying
Most Important Policy
Establish a clear, robust anti-bullying policy, underpinning a zero-tolerance stance. Your policy should clearly determine what is considered bullying and what should be done if bullying occurs.
Leadership’s Initiative
Leaders' commitment is not only crucial for decisions made around the company’s financial growth but also for setting the example of change in the workplace culture.
Culture of Openness
In a culture of openness, talent/crew are free from the dangers of professional repercussions; having open and honest dialogues can defuse the tensions that often leads to bullying.
Feedback Mechanism
Establishing a confidential feedback mechanism is crucial to prevent bullying from escalating and holding accountable.
Regular Review
