Attempts to address bullying in Australian workplaces are failing. Worldwide, most employees don’t report their bullying. Bullying in Australian (and Other) Workplaces is a groundbreaking book that explains workplace bullying in plain English for the general reader in a revealing, forthright and often confronting style. It includes the latest viewpoints and strategies for addressing one of Australia’s most serious workplace health and safety problems.
While this book focuses on Australian workplaces, the problem of bullying is global. The lessons here and strategies for dealing with it will resonate with readers worldwide.
This book is an independent not-for-profit project funded by the Triple A Foundation.
