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 intimidated employees make more mistakes and are less motivated to do their best work. Research shows that when workers are distracted by bullying, the decline in productivity can be as high as 40%.
According to Australia’s Productivity Commission, the total national cost of workplace bullying could be as high as $36 billion each year. For individual businesses, having just a single bully in the workforce can cripple morale, obliterate staff retention and stifle productivity.
Costs of bullying behaviors:
- Increased stress-related absenteeism.
- Reduced employee performance due to emotional distraction.
- 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.
- Increase in worker’s compensation claims—over 90% are caused by mental stress.
- Vulnerability 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.
Thus, bullies, targets and bystanders can acquire the skills and awareness to become positive change-makers and leaders 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), mindfulness.
In addition, our bullying prevention courses also offer other tools to help participants build resilience, strengthen teamwork, improve crucial relationships and foster organisational trust and true leadership.
Because a positive, engaged, bullying-free workforce translates to time and money saved.
