What workplace bullying is doing to us

from The Women's Agenda Podcast

More women than men are reporting workplace bullying, and many of us feel increasingly lonely.   Given that we spend so much of our lives at work, there is much to discuss regarding the connection between workplace bullying, loneliness, and the erosion of social cohesion.   Melanie Wilde is deeply passionate about these issues and has recently established the Foundation for Social Health.   This is a crucial conversation, especially given the changes we're witnessing across the community and as many of us dive into the new work year. Unfortunately, some individuals may be dreading this time, not due to work stress but because of the people they must interact with.  Learn more about why this matters and the role we can all play in combating loneliness—not just through addressing workplace bullying, but in various other ways as well.   Read Melanie's opinion piece in Women's Agenda about how workplace bullying is eroding social bonds. Let's engage in this discussion.   About Melanie Wilde:   An expert in mental health policy and service design with over 20 years of experience, Melanie leads a new national initiative to tackle Australia’s loneliness crisis as CEO of the Foundation for Social Health. She has been published in The Age and Canberra Times and regularly comments on mental health issues with ABC Canberra. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
