Why is this Bullying and Harassment at Work course essential?

Workplace bullying is a persistent pattern of mistreatment from others in the workplace that causes either physical or emotional harm. It can include such tactics as verbal, nonverbal, psychological, and physical abuse and humiliation. This type of workplace aggression is particularly tricky because, unlike the typical school bully, workplace bullies often operate within the established rules and policies of their organisation and their society.
