What is bullying at work?

Question

Accepted Answer

Bullying is repeated and unreasonable behaviour towards one or more workers. It can be physical, verbal or relational/social, such as excluding someone or spreading rumours. The law doesn’t mention bullying as such, but employers have to have a safe environment, and this includes making sure there’s no bullying.
Workplace bullying are actions that are repeated, done to gain power and exert dominance, and with the intention to cause fear and distress. They are more than just ‘strong management’ and are also treated differently from harassment under the law.
