No one goes to work to be humiliated, abused,
ostracised, subjected to rumours, or assaulted.
Yet this is the reality
of a working day for more than one in six workers. Bullying causes billions
of dollars in lost productivity, expensive mistakes, employee replacement
costs, and health and welfare rehabilitation expenses. Most workplaces
currently have few resources and systems to deal with the problem, leaving
the victims to sink or swim, and the bullies to remain professionally incompetent.
Few understand that bullying is not tough management or an aggressive personality
trait to be suffered. Severe and unremitting bullying catapults the victim
into such a damaging emotional state that it can lead to the breakdown
of their very survival mechanisms.
Bully Blocking at Work reveals for the first time the true evil nature
of workplace bullying, helping the reader to understand its toxic, destructive
impact on all employees — whether they are targets, bullies or onlookers — and
provides advice for coping and confronting bullying, from both a personal
and organisational perspective. The author has worked as a psychologist
for over thirty years and has spent many hours listening to clients, conducting
interviews, reading, speaking and writing about workplace bullying. Sprinkled
liberally throughout the pages are quotes from the many sufferers of bullying
that the author has personally worked with over many years.
