Why train your staff?
|
Workplace bullying is a serious workplace health and safety issue that does not only affect staff, but also undermines the profits of organisations. “Workplace bullying creates unsafe working environments and poses a risk to employees’ health. Further, it leaves companies and organisations open to the threat of expensive litigation. Not dealing with workplace bullies is a risk organisations can no longer afford to take. And far from being a minor personnel issue, smart employers are now viewing and treating workplace bullying for what it really is…as a risk management issue”. – [Know Bull] Cost of bullying to an organisation:

| Some bullying statistics to consider: |
|
7 out of 10 employees…whether they’re a target or a witness…will leave their jobs as a direct result of workplace bullying – [Know Bull] |
|
Research published in 2010 by Know Bull…an Australian online anti-bullying resource… found that an ‘active’ bully resides in two thirds of Australian workplaces…and that in almost 60% of cases this bully was a ‘boss’… such as a manager, senior manager, or CEO / executive director. |
|
Half of bully targets will suffer a 50 to 70% loss in their productivity…while about 70% of witnesses will experience a decline in their productivity by around 10 to 40% – [Know Bull] |
|
2005 WorkCover (ACT) estimated the dollar ‘cost’ of workplace bullying saying, “The financial cost of workplace bullying to business in Australia is estimated to be between $6 billion and $13 billion a year.” This includes indirect costs, such as absenteeism, labour turnover, loss of productivity and legal costs. |
