Workplace Bullying and Violence: Training for Supervisors

Helps supervisors learn how to deal with bullying and violence in the workplace.

People often equate “bullying” with children, believing that the burden of dealing with such torment disappears after one leaves school. But in reality, bullies can be found in any organization, regardless of size or industry.

As an adult, expressions of anger or other inappropriate conduct should be addressed by the employer as a violation of workplace conduct rules. However, bullying may be subtler. If a pattern of behavior which humiliates or intimidates an employee or otherwise sabotages his or her performance develops, then you may have a bullying situation to deal with.
