Product Description
Product Description
No one goes to work to be humiliated, abused, ostracised, subjected to rumours, or assaulted. Yet this is the reality of a working day for more than one in six workers. Bullying causes billions of dollars in lost productivity, expensive mistakes, employee replacement costs, and health and welfare rehabilitation expenses. Most workplaces currently have few resources and systems to deal with the problem, leaving the victims to sink or swim, and the bullies to remain professionally incompetent. Few understand that bullying is not tough management or an aggressive personality trait to be suffered. Severe and unremitting bullying catapults the victim into such a damaging emotional state that it can lead to the breakdown of their very survival mechanisms. Bully Blocking at Work reveals for the first time the true evil nature of workplace bullying, helping the reader to understand its toxic, destructive impact on all employees - whether they are targets, bullies or onlookers - and provides advice for coping and confronting bullying, from both a personal and organisational perspective. The author has worked as a psychologist for over thirty years and has spent many hours listening to clients, conducting interviews, reading, speaking and writing about workplace bullying. Sprinkled liberally throughout the pages are quotes from the many sufferers of bullying that the author has personally worked with over many years.

Excellent book on workplace bullying., 29 Nov 2010
By Terry - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bully Blocking at Work: A Self-Help Guide for Employees, Managers and Mentors (Paperback)
This is an excellent book on the subject of workplace bullying. The book is written in a format that can be easily read by the general public. In addition, there are several text boxes throughout the book that contain concise statements in a bulleted list, which readily convey specific concepts. The book is divided into very specific topics, such as, discussing the various aspects of workplace bullying, identifying the stages that a target will experience, providing issues that the target should consider if they have been bullied and finally providing bully blocking tips. I recommend this book for anyone who is experiencing workplace bullying. Furthermore, I recommend it for anyone who is currently in the workplace even if they feel that they are not experiencing workplace bullying, because it will enable them to recognise workplace bullying and to become more aware of the issue. This will allow them to be better able to deal with it should it occur. As well, I think that this book should be read by all students in secondary school before they get into the workplace. This book would be an excellent tool that could be used to teach students in secondary schools important life skills that would enable them to be better equipped to survive the workplace. Finally, anyone who has experienced workplace bullying will easily relate to many of the statements made in this book.
