PUBLIC AGENCY COURSE

Bullying in the Workplace
½ Day Session

Research from around the world indicates up to 70% of working adults report that they have been bullied. Targets experience anxiety, discouragement, depression, burnout, reduced quality and quantity of work, and lower levels of job satisfaction. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and even suicide have also been linked to bullying. Abusive behaviors at work invite severe damaging consequences for the organization, including increased absenteeism and turnover, communication breakdown, and inability to meet organizational goals. This course is based on verifiable, research-based information.
