When Solving Workplace Bullying Becomes an Economic Imperative

Workplace bullying has always been a hot topic, but it is even more so in recent months with headline stories about Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, as well as Michael Oreskes, NPR’s senior vice president for news, and others. These A-list business owners are under fire for both bullying and sexual harassment, resulting in the effective ends of their careers in their respective fields.

Bullying in the workplace, whether verbal or physical, creates a disengaged employee who is unwilling and unable to contribute to a company’s success.

How can you reduce workplace bullying within your company? It's a matter of how you hire, and how your company code of conduct is structured.
