Synopsis

At long last a guidebook for employers that discusses workplace bullying from America's unrivaled leaders and creators of the workplace bullying consulting institute. Managers will learn how and why to stop bullying; prepare executives to lead the campaign and to resist undermining efforts of subordinates; and create a new, positive role for human resources. Outlining the required steps, The Bullying-Free Workplace includes information on how to create a preventive policy that brings consequences, like never before, when violated. The authors discourage half-hearted, short-term fixes that are prevalent today, and present their signature Blueprint methodology to successfully protect employee health and eradicate the psychological violence from organizations.

Quatrième de couverture :

Praise for The Bully Free Workplace

"For anti–bullying to work, it is essential that support start at the top. I was personally involved in drafting our policy with the Namies and ensuring its implementation. It has made a palpable and positive difference to our workplace culture."
DOUGLAS H. BARR, MSW, President and CEO, Goodwill Southern California

"This book is for CEOs and their leadership teams who are serious about building a great workplace that inspires higher productivity and profits, along with the bully–free brand. The Namies also outline an innovative contributory role for HR professionals in creating and sustaining a bully–free workplace."
KEVIN KENNEMER, founder and Senior Partner, The People Group

"Gary and Ruth Namie apply their expert insight to help organizations prevent and respond to bullying at work. This book opens a window onto best practices for employers who understand how workplace bullying destroys employee morale and productivity and want to stop it."
DAVID C. YAMADA, JD, Professor of Law, Suffolk University Law School, Boston, author of the anti–bullying Healthy Workplace Bill

"The Namies enable us to start changing our perception of what bullying really is all about: brutal, systematic psychological torture. As a union activist, I have been dealing with bullying in the workplace for years. With these tools, we can start changing the tide; we can better protect our coworkers and stand up for our collective right to a safe, healthy, and violence–free workplace."
DENIS ST–JEAN, National Health and Safety Officer, Public Service Alliance of Canada
