Bullying at the workplace: Statistics on bullying - Human resources News on Violence in the Workplace
"...between 35 and 50 percent of workers have been bullied or otherwise abused in their workplaces at some point during their careers." Duffy told us.
"And for those of you in HR, you might be very interested to learn of the frequency statistics that were reported in a very recent study – 31 percent of human resources personnel had been bullied and over half of that bullied group believed it was because of their role in human resources and their associated responsibilities."
As if the personal implications weren’t enough, there is also a financial aspect to this situation.
"In the United States, the actual cost . . . $250 million annually in expenditures related to health care, litigation, staff turnover, and retraining from workplace bullying and mobbing." Duffy explained.
This figure may be low given a lot of these types of costs are not always attributed to bullying when in fact they could be.
AlGonzalezinfo's insight:
It's time to take a close look at the quality of leadership in organizations! Leadership is not a license to bully or condone it! The problem is that many of us don't know we are actually doing it!

Mental Health of a worker is in my opinion the most unrecognized health issue in a workplace. Bullying at the Workplace is something we all know that goes on and is not something that is easily addressed. There are ramifications that can arise from both ends of a bullying situation. This is something that is very important to me, i hope to one day influence the workplace to eradicate bulling and impose a higher motivational chi to a workplace.

Visioning enables leaders to realize that the future really is their own creation, personally, professionally and relationally. In these three areas they can change their organizations and change the lives of their employees. Visioning is where all improvement can be made personally and collectively. Choosing realties that are better than the ones we currently have is what Visioning enable leaders to do.

My comment about Apple cider was a reply to a question from another curator, who asked about it.

Actually when this specialist wants to analyze the toxic bacteria, he chases them out of their hiding places with applecider vinegar, and voila, they appear in his testing procedures.
