Legal Consequences and Strategies to Reclaim Your Power
Workplace bullying can have devastating impacts on employees, leading to anxiety, depression, and physical health problems. But did you know that workplace bullying can also have legal consequences? As lawyers who represent victims of workplace bullying, we’ve seen firsthand the damage that can be done – both personally and professionally. So it’s important to know the legal remedies available to victims, and how you can protect your rights and career.
What is workplace bullying?
Workplace bullying is repeated, unwanted behavior that is directed at an employee or group of employees. This can include verbal abuse, intimidation, exclusion from meetings or events, and even physical assault. Workplace bullying can be perpetrated by a supervisor, a coworker, or even a third party (such as a customer or vendor).
What are the legal consequences of workplace bullying?
Employers have a legal obligation to provide a safe and healthy work environment for their employees. When workplace bullying is allowed to continue unchecked, it can create a hostile work environment that violates employees’ rights. Victims of workplace bullying may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and other damages.
How can you protect your rights and career?
If you’re a victim of workplace bullying, it’s important to document the behavior and report it to your employer. If your employer fails to take action, you need to consult with a lawyer who specializes in employment law. A lawyer can help you understand your rights and legal options, and will work with you to pursue a claim against your employer.
