How to Start Changing a Bullying Environment

Bullying is Unreported

• 40% of targets never tell their employers
• Bullying is erroneously branded as conflict or difference in personality sytles
• Bullying is a form of VIOLENCE

Starting a Bully Behavior Framework

• Single unprofessional incident:  There needs to be an informal intervention over coffee stating options for positive communication
• Level 1:  Apparent pattern…Inform the bully that you will start documenting the behavior
• Level 2:  Authority Intervention…Be supportive and express clear expectations about expected change
• Level 3:  Disciplinary Intervention…If there is no change be clear about the company’s rules about discipline and take immediate action
