For Your Information - Nov 18th - Donna Clark Love. Counselor, and bully expert

Guest was Donna Clark Love. Counselor, and bully expert. We talked about workplace bullying. We talked about workplace Bullying. The repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons (the targets) by one or more perpetrators. We talked about the effects of bullying on mental and physical health, as well as the effects on business. We discussed how workplace bullying is different from harassment, and how threatening, humiliating, or intimidating, abusive conduct prevents work from getting done, and costs companies money. We also talked about cyber bullying co-workers, and how important it is for companies to craft a social media and workplace bullying policy. We also talked about what targets, bystanders and managers can do when someone is being bullied by a co-worker or boss. A workplace culture that encourages respectful behavior and discourages inappropriate behavior is likely to be more productive and benefit from fewer sick days, fewer stress-related issues and lower turnover.
