Corporate bullying can take many forms, including verbal abuse, victimisation, isolation, passive-aggressive behaviour, harassment and cyberbullying. The impact can affect employees’ confidence, wellbeing, productivity and overall experience at work.
In this episode, we speak to Lwandile Hasheni, Executive Chairman of the South African Institute of Employee Relations Professionals (SAIERP), about the realities of corporate bullying, why it happens, how employees can recognise it, and what organisations can do to create healthier workplaces.
We also unpack SAIERP’s Corporate Bullying Hotline and the importance of giving employees a platform to seek support and address workplace bullying.
