Workplace Bullying Training – 21st Century Leadership

Bullying does not end when adulthood begins. In 2010, 35% of workers reported experiencing bullying first-hand, while 15% said they witnessed it, according to a Zogby International Study commissioned by the Workplace Bullying Institute (WBI). Though bullying in the workplace has always been a major problem, efforts to stop it have been virtually nonexistent until relatively recently. Today, business leaders are beginning to realize what a significant impact workplace bullying has on their enterprises, and they're taking steps to address it.

Bullying in the workplace hurts employee morale, curtails productivity, causes anxiety, contributes to depression and, ultimately, limits a company's profitability. Workers simply cannot perform their best when they're the targets of bullies. In extreme circumstances, bullying can even lead to violence in the workplace. Though awareness has increased, bullying is too often ignored or chalked up to ordinary office tension.

It behooves organizations to take proactive steps to end workplace bullying.
