Workplace bullying can be very unpleasant; it can also be a serious hazard and may even cause an accident in the workplace. And there is plenty of evidence to suggest workplace bullying is endemic in Britain: 33% of TUC safety representatives identify it as a problem
Not only can intimidating and harassing behaviour undermine morale, it can also lead to large-scale neglect of correct health and safety practices; in some cases victims may actually be encouraged to unknowingly risk their own safety, which can be particularly dangerous in typically accident-prone industries such as construction and agriculture.
Motivation is another vital component of a safe workplace that can be jeopardised by bullying. Indeed, loss of motivation may lead to widespread neglect of health and safety practices.
One of the most worrying forms of workplace bullying is, sadly, one of the most complex to identify; it involves the bullying of workers by employers. On occasions this may lead to employees being bullied into accepting unacceptable health and safety practices. In the event that such instances result in workers sustaining personal injuries, no win, no fee solicitors may be able to assist those affected claim the compensation they deserve.
Naturally, interested organisations such as the HSE seek to prevent bullying from occurring in the UK. They are well aware that as well as causing accidents in the workplace, bullying and intimidating behaviour can lead to health problems such as WRS (work-related stress).
In a sometimes cynical world, perhaps the best incentive for employers to stamp out workplace bullying will be fiscal: Unite believe it costs the UK economy around £13.75 billion a year.
