Bullying and Harassment in the Workplace

Repeated behaviour refers to the persistent nature of the behaviour and can involve a range of behaviours over time. Unreasonable behaviour means behaviour that a reasonable person, having considered the circumstances, would see as unreasonable, including behaviour that is victimising, humiliating, intimidating or threatening. Bullying can impact an organisation through reduced productivity, staff turnover and legal costs. The Preventing and Responding  Bullying Code of Practice set out a range of measures on how to prevent and manage workplace bullying.
