bullying in the workplace

Workplace bullying involves repeated, unreasonable actions or behavior directed at an employee that cause harm, undermine confidence, or create a hostile work environment. It can take forms such as verbal abuse, unfair criticism, exclusion, or deliberately undermining someone’s work. Unlike occasional disagreements, bullying is persistent and aimed at intimidating or mistreating. It can negatively affect the victim’s mental health, job performance, and overall well-being, and disrupt team harmony. Addressing workplace bullying involves clear policies, open communication, and fostering a respectful, inclusive culture where all employees feel safe and valued.
