The Bullyology® Program provides professional, targeted, online workplace bullying training for organisations, employees and business leaders.
Bullying is a cost no business can afford and it will not go away by itself. It causes serious harm to employee well-being and can quickly destroy the culture of an organisation from within.
Angry, emotional and frightened employees make more mistakes and are less motivated to do their best work. Research indicates bullying distractions can cause worker productivity to drop by as much as 40%.
The Productivity Commission of Australia reports that the annual national expense of workplace bullying might reach up to $36 billion, highlighting the urgent need for bullying prevention training.
For individual businesses, a single bully in the workplace can drastically lower morale, lead to significant employee turnover, and hinder productivity in any business, underscoring the importance of preventing bullying initiatives.
Costs of bullying behaviours:
- Increased stress-related frequent absence.
- Decreased employee productivity caused by emotional disturbances.
- Valuable time spent by management in dealing with escalating tensions.
- Disincentive for top employees to want to remain in a toxic environment.
- Need to constantly train new people as older staff leave because of bullying.
- Harm to the reputation/brand of a business as a desirable place to work.
- Over 90% of the increase in worker’s compensation claims is due to mental stress.
- Liable to prosecution for failing to adhere to anti-bullying legislation.
Organisations must equip their employees and leaders with bullying prevention courses for managing workplace bullying.
Bullyology® offers practical, evidence-based strategies that address prevention, organisational culture and employee health.
Consequently, through our program, bullies, their targets, and bystanders gain the skills and knowledge needed to spearhead positive changes and lead efforts in bullying prevention and management.
Our online workplace bullying training brings together the best of positive psychology, emotional intelligence, preventative medicine, DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy), and mindfulness.
Furthermore, our bullying prevention courses provide additional tools to enhance resilience, boost teamwork, better critical relationships, and cultivate trust and authentic leadership within organisations.
Because a positive, engaged, bullying-free workforce translates to time and money saved!
