This could negatively impact not only the specific victim of bullying, but all employees throughout the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re going to explore some of the most common places that you may notice bullying, what research tells us about these behaviors, and tactics to address and prevent bullying in your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15388\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tired-girl-1000x667pix.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15388\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-15388 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tired-girl-1000x667pix.jpg\" alt=\"Stressed professional woman with headache working late on computer in office.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tired-girl-1000x667pix.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tired-girl-1000x667pix-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tired-girl-1000x667pix-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tired-girl-1000x667pix-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15388\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Remote work can present unique challenges regarding workplace bullying.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>How is Workplace Bullying Defined?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/workplacebullying.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Workplace Bullying Institute<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWorkplace bullying is repeated, health-harming mistreatment by one or more employees or an employee: abusive conduct that takes the form of verbal abuse; or behaviors perceived as intimidating, or humiliating; work sabotage; or some combination of the above.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the work sector, bullying could even be a common part of a workplace culture. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/hr-today\/news\/hr-magazine\/0316\/pages\/are-you-in-a-bully-prone-industry.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to SHRM<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, bullying has a tendency to thrive in fields with highly stressful conditions or rigid hierarchical structures. These could include healthcare, sales, education, or public service, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A bullying issue can also stem from a negative managerial structure or a workplace culture founded on competition. Bullying can be things like assigning impossible tasks, repeatedly denying time off, taking credit for someone else\u2019s work, denying access to information, or holding past mistakes against someone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">examples<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of workplace bullying include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aggressive language<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Threatening gestures<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical violence\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conducting practical jokes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharing sensitive photos<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spreading rumors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social exclusion\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, workplace bullying and harassment can take many forms, some more subtle than others. It\u2019s important to remember that subtle incidents can cause real harm.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Workplace Bullying by the\u00a0Numbers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These workplace <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">harassment<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/workplacebullying.org\/2021-wbi-survey\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stats<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> help shed light on how pervasive this harmful behavior is throughout the United States. Being aware of these numbers is key as you consider how to develop a healthier work environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s estimated that 48.6 million Americans have been bullied at work. According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/workplacebullying.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-Full-Report.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2021 US Bullying Survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this amounts to 30% of American adults. It was also found that in a traditional work setting, most bullying happens during meetings and face-to-face interactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as the COVID pandemic caused many people to begin working from home, the overall percentage of those experiencing harassment rose to 43%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s thought that having additional ways to send messages may contribute to this higher number relating to remote work, along with the impersonal nature of online work relationships. Poor conduct generally feels less risky with miles between the bully, the victim, and the supervisor that would reprimand the behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few more insights:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">19% of individuals have witnessed workplace bullying<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">49% of workers feel personally impacted by workplace harassment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">66% of employees are aware of bullying, even if they\u2019re not involved<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These numbers are definitely cause for concern, especially when you consider that just about half the workforce feel the effects of bullying in professional settings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Are The Effects of Workplace Bullying?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workplace bullying has wide-spread ramifications. You, your employees, and your organization as a whole could be negatively impacted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a personal level, bullying at work can cause <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/what-are-the-effects-of-workplace-bullying-460628\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mental and physical symptoms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depression<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anxiety<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isolation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low self-esteem<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headaches<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muscle tension<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High blood pressure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ulcers<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When employees are dealing with these kinds of issues, they&#8217;ll dread coming into work and absenteeism can quickly become a problem. If the bullying persists, employees may choose to leave the company altogether in search of a more welcoming workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the bullying victim is at work, their morale will be low because the environment makes them depressed and anxious. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bullying also make it difficult for workers to perform their jobs. If they\u2019re not feeling happy and motivated, their productivity is bound to decrease. The stress of being bullied can also make it hard to make decisions, which will continue slowing down workplace procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cases of extreme bullying that remain unchecked, a victimized employee may choose to take legal action against the company. This is costly to both budget and reputation. The poor public image that results from such cases, or even just from word of mouth, could make recruiting new employees a major struggle going forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to Prevent Bullying at Work<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you better understand the scope and severity of the effects of workplace bullying, and how it can affect your teams, you\u2019ll want to start creating strategies to address and end these behaviors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hrdailyadvisor.blr.com\/2019\/10\/10\/strategies-to-reduce-workplace-bullying\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">strategies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to counteract bullying in the workplace:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great first step is to explicitly describe your anti-bullying and anti-harassment policies to employees at every level of the organization. It\u2019s important to be clear and straightforward when communicating behavior expectations so there&#8217;s no confusion or \u201cgray area\u201d where a person may work around a policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, a worker may be bullied by their supervisor. Because of this, it\u2019s vital to give employees an additional point of contact to reach out to if they experience bullying. Providing the option to report incidents anonymously can also encourage hesitant people to express their concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every report of workplace bullying should be taken seriously. No one should be given leeway when exhibiting harmful behavior. Reports of bullying should also be addressed in a timely manner, with conversations starting immediately when the incident is discovered. Developing a system for how and when disciplinary actions are carried out can help these processes operate more smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investing in training courses is another effective tactic to prevent and address workplace bullying. These could be courses specifically about bullying behavior, but other topics may be useful in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preventing <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bullying behavior, such as teaching employees how to properly give and receive criticism, or training supervisors about effectively resolving workplace conflict before it escalates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, if your budget allows, your organization may consider hiring a third-party individual or team to take your company&#8217;s pulse so that you get an unbiased assessment of how healthy or unhealthy your company culture is. This could be something you implement periodically, or you may decide to hire this help for the long-term to address incoming complaints.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Your Next Steps with\u00a0KnowledgeCity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workplace bullying presents in a variety of contexts and with varying degrees of severity.
