How can I handle bullying at work?
Bullying in the workplace is a common problem that costs a lot of money every year and affects the health and well -being of employees. Bullying at work can be a difficult problem to solve, because most bullying in the workplace will do nothing in front of the manager. In addition, some of the worst bullying may actually be managers. If you want to handle bullying at work, you have to solve the problem as soon as it starts, and as much as possible. You should also carefully assess the political environment in society and the resources available to you.
Bullying at work can take many forms, from insults, intimidation, cruel jokes or harassment, to someone who always accepts recognition for your work, is in front of other employees who constantly leave you out of projects or even threaten you with violence. If someone threatens violence, it is important to go directly to your supervisor, the department of human resources or even to the police, if you are really afraid of your safety. Do not attempt to solve the situation yourself.
However, if violence is not a problem, it may be the best first step that bullying will stand in peace. Do not renounce or threaten, simply indicate your case and that bullying must stop. May it be useful to ask questions, for example, "Would you like an apartment to treat your husband in this way at work?" After you talked to bullying, document the incident of what you said and his answer; This can be useful later if bullying does not stop and you have to bring the problem to a superior. Continue the careful document of all bullying incidents.
Meanwhile, make sure your superiors know what you are doing and how hard you work every day. Do not allow bullying to receive recognition for projects you worked on or completed, and do not allow it to control any meetings you can have or with dishes with your ideas. The presentation of a quiet and assertive front and at the same time a demonstration of your own success at work can sometimesCondition of a stop of bullying at work; Most bullying is simply after a feeling of control of others and moves to someone else unless you provide the satisfaction they are looking for.
It is important to maintain your friendship in your workplace, but it did not care to bully others. If the bullying continues to work and the confrontation of bullying does not change on your own, talk to a manager or someone in human resources. Then they will be able to issue a formal warning that could eventually lead to disciplinary conduct or even end if the behavior does not improve. Unfortunately, in some extreme cases, it may be the best option to convert to another department, or even leave society if bullying comes from above, and you lack a political leverage to stop.
