Human resources expert explains how victims should confront workplace bullying <\/em><\/p>\n

Workplace bullying is a sadly common issue that many employees face on a regular basis. And, some employees are at higher risk of workplace bullying than others. A recent online study led by James Cook University in Australia<\/a> found that these risks for bullying include being young as well as being a woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe researchers discovered that female employees are at a higher risk of being bullied, and the same is true for younger employees,\u201d said Rob Wilson, human resources expert and President of Employco USA. \u201cSadly, simply for the \u2018crime\u2019 of being a woman or being young in the workplace can increase your risk of harassment while on the job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other recent research bears out these findings, including a recent study performed by the University of Arizona<\/a> which showed that female employees are targeted more with rude remarks and unkind behavior than male employees.<\/p>\n

So how should employees address these situations and defuse workplace bullying?<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, you need to change your thinking,\u201d says Wilson, \u201cIt\u2019s not your job to make a bully leave you alone. Your only job is to show up and perform the duties for which your boss hired you. While being firm and clear about your boundaries can help stop a bully, ultimately, some people are going to behave badly no matter what you do.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, Wilson says, go to H.R.\u2014if you are fortunate enough to work for a company which is large enough to have one. \u201cIf that\u2019s not a possibility, then go to someone in management whom you trust, whether it\u2019s your company president or the person who helped mentor you when you first joined the firm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some companies, such as those companies for which Employco offers support, have a firm which helps to handle H.R. issues, and in these cases there might be a 1-800 number which you can call.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find that our clients\u2019 employees feel much more comfortable coming to us about bullying and other office harassment, instead of speaking to someone in their own company,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cThey feel safer and the conversation feels more private and less biased. Creating a safe atmosphere for people to come forward is one of the best ways to help prevent workplace bullying.\u201d<\/p>\n
