At some point in our career we have either directly experienced or know of someone who has experienced Workplace Bullying, Abuse, Intimidation and/or Harrassment.
But how do you help someone going through this difficult period.
Simply follow Blu Ripples® 5 Step action plan and you will be on the way to resolving the presenting concern.
5 Step Action Plan to Address Workplace Bullying, Abuse, Intimidation and Harrassment
Step 1. Gather your evidence and relevant information be it photographs, e-mails, diary and file notes, eye witness accounts inc. statutory declarations.
Step 2. Review your employment agreements, corporate policies and procedures.
Step 3. Compile your evidence into an Incident Report Summary – ensure you keep to the FACTS and be HONEST!
Step 4. Seek Internal Support from Human Resources or your Supervisor; if your supervisor is the one abusing, bullying and/or intimidating you go to their manager.
Step 5. Develop a strong External Professional Support network be it your GP (Doctor), Counsellor, Employment Lawyer, Union Representative, Workers Compensation (NSW) or Fair Work Ombudsman
Provide COPIES of all incident summaries and evidence to your External Support network as and when required – Keep the originals for your reference!
