Remember your first paycheck and how it made you feel? The boost
of confidence it gave you
made you feel the sky was the limit; nothing could hold you
back. Your self-esteem was high, you were
excited to go to work each day and the people you worked with
were like a second family. It was a
win-win situation for everyone. Allowing a bully in the
workplace could change all of that. We know
about the effects of childhood bullying, but bullying in the
workplace is now making the news and
should be a concern addressed by all companies.
Sexual harassment is a form of bullying that has been addressed
by most companies, but there are
other forms of harassment that are just as damaging to
employees’ self-esteem and ultimately a
company’s bottom line. Adult bullies tend to have poor or
non-existent social skills, and find
satisfaction in their ability to attack and diminish the capable
people around them. Many times a
person being harassed is unsure of how to report bullying,
because it seems so childish. However, if
incidents are not reported, supervisors will not be able to show
just cause and address the situation.
In addition to harassing workers, bullies poison the work
environment with low morale, fear, anger
and depression. The employer pays for this in lost efficiency,
absenteeism, stress-induced illness, high
staff turnover and possible law suits. Unfortunately, as the
nightly news often reports, it can also
result in shootings or other severely violent behavior.

How to Reward Children When Exercising - Continued From Page

The best precaution is to address the problem before it occurs.
Talk to your human resources department and ask to have a committee
draw up plans for reporting bullying behavior. Your company’s
employee handbook should identify bullying as unacceptable
behavior, and have a confidential system in place for seriously
investigating, recording and dealing with conflict as it occurs.
Bullying is unprofessional and has no business in a workplace.
There are benefits for companies incorporating anti-bullying
policies. Studies show by having a system in place for dealing with
bullies, a company lowers its risk of law suits, has a more
peaceful and productive workplace, influences better decisions to
be made, employees have a higher self-esteem, less sick leave is
used, there is higher staff retention and less administrative
paperwork.
Everyone likes working in a safe environment with people that
have a high self-esteem and are considerate of others. It is up to
all of us to make that place a reality.
