A Debate about Going Beyond the Office Walls: Workplace Bullying as Public Health

This research examines workplace bullying as a critical public health crisis rather than a simple human resources dispute. It highlights that nearly 30% of employees face persistent mistreatment, leading to severe outcomes like cardiovascular disease, mental health disorders, and significant financial losses for organizations. To combat these risks, the research advocates for a systematic prevention strategy similar to physical safety protocols, emphasizing the need for transparent reporting and procedural justice. Effective interventions require leadership accountability, comprehensive risk assessments, and dedicated support systems for those affected. Ultimately, the research argues that fostering psychological safety is both a moral obligation and a vital investment in organizational resilience.
