OSHA defines workplace violence to include threats, harassment, intimidation and disruptive behavior, while the EEOC treats unwelcome conduct as unlawful harassment when it is a condition of employment or severe or pervasive enough to create a hostile environment. Both descriptions fit workplace bullying closely, but many employers still leave it unaddressed.
This 60-minute webinar on bullying vs harassment vs violence explains how these behaviors are similar and different, and why the distinction matters for employer liability. Bullying is repeated psychological abuse, ranging from shouting and hostile emails to sabotaged work and deliberate exclusion.
You'll learn myths about bullying, ten steps to eliminate it and how to build a healthy workplace where people thrive.
All negative behaviors at work drive anxiety, burnout, low job satisfaction and turnover, but they carry different legal risks. Confusion over where bullying ends and harassment or violence begins can leave you exposed to a lawsuit if you don't act early.
It suits HR and employee relations teams, risk managers, EAPs, consultants, small business owners, union representatives, employment attorneys and in-house counsel.
