What is bullying and harassment at work?
Bullying and harassment at work refers to any unwanted behaviour that is intended to intimidate, degrade, or offend an employee. This can include physical, verbal, or psychological abuse, and can have a serious impact on the health and wellbeing of the affected employee. It is against the law to bully or harass employees in the workplace, and employers have a responsibility to take steps to prevent it from happening.
Harassment is defined in the Equality Act 2010 as:
Unwanted conduct related to a relevant protected characteristic, which has the purpose or effect of violating an individual’s dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for that individual. Bullying may be described as offensive, intimidating, malicious/insulting behaviour, an abuse or misuse of power through means that undermine, humiliate, denigrate or injure the recipient.
Who can be found to be bullying or harassing me?
Bullying and harassment can be by one co-worker to another, by an individual in a position of authority or involve a group of people.
