Personal injury solicitors tackle bullying in the workplace

Bullying in the workplace is becoming increasingly common in the UK and a result we are receiving more requests for our personal injury solicitors to help sufferers make psychological personal injury claims.

A survey by UNISON revealed that 66% of respondents had witnessed or experienced bullying at work and in 80% of these cases the bullying was carried out by the manager.

Types of bullying may include:

• Direct verbal and physical threats

• Unfair use of disciplinary and assessment procedures

• Blocking access to promotion

• Setting impossible deadlines and targets

• Humiliation in front of colleagues

• Undermining responsibility

• Ageist, sexist or racist remarks

• Physical isolation from other workers

If bullied at work an individual’s health and safety are at risk. They may experience stress, depression and anxiety disorders which can affect their work capabilities as well as their social relationships.

Australian research has shown that over 70% of people will suffer some form of bullying at work in their lives. Many people end up leaving their jobs and even moving house which can cause even more stress and financial loss.
