Bullying in the workplace is a common occurrence. It can be very damaging to employee morale, productivity, mental health, and even their mental health. Bullying in the workplace might not seem possible because we associate bullying with the schoolyard and almost always with someone who is physically bigger than us.

Bullies are not allowed in any workplace and such behavior is unacceptable for any company. Employer and worker should be the first to prioritize the safety and health of their workers. All members of a team are responsible for one another; employees for their employers, employers for their employees and employees for their employers. These techniques will teach team members how to spot signs of bullying and how to deal with it. This course is essential in creating a welcoming and harmonious work environment.
