This document discusses lateral violence, also known as bullying, in the workplace. It defines lateral violence as humiliating, degrading, or disrespectful behavior between peers that risks health and safety. Common forms include verbal affronts, sabotage, scapegoating, and broken confidences. Women are more likely to engage in this behavior with each other due to socialization around relationships and seeking acceptance. The roles in these situations include bullies, who feel threatened and want to win; bystanders, who watch passively; and victims, who are often subordinates or newcomers. Self-awareness of one's own behaviors and defending oneself by reporting issues are recommended approaches.

Safety in the workplace from Lateral Violence to Lateral Kindness Awasis 2016griehl
Lateral violence exists on a spectrum, from seemingly ordinary behaviour such as gossiping or criticism, to intimidation, racism and outright physical intimidation or harm. Lateral violence cannot thrive when employers, co-workers, and team-members become ethically and legally responsible. We do not accept bullying in our schools or other workplaces so why do we accept it or turn a blind eye within our teams? The concern is that lateral violence is happening or fostered at various levels and going on where we have learned to oppress one another and has become normal. Often, lateral violence is a mind-set based on fear rather than respect.
The goal of the presentation is to empower individuals to recognize lateral violence and intervene, through conflict resolution and to avoid unhealthy coping strategies. Having the conversation is what matters . . . it shows that everyone shares the responsibility for behaviour that affects our teams and our communities; we need to show our students healthy communication and role models so they will be able to model behaviours to lead us into the future in a balanced and health way forward.

Never one to duck away from a controversial subject, world-class trainer and author of the highly successful Be the Ultimate Assistant, Bonnie returns to Executive Secretary LIVE to shine a light on a problem that affects over 65% of Assistants at least once in their careers.
If you have ever witnessed or experienced bullying, you know that it takes many forms -- from the “Devil Wears Prada” irrational diva to the co-worker who intentionally withholds important information to the manager who applies rules to certain people and not to others. All of it is bullying that is toxic to a healthy, happy and profitable workplace.
As someone who has first-hand experience with bullying, Bonnie has been researching this subject for years and has connected with some of the world’s experts on the subject. She will be focusing on the proactive and realistic solutions that Assistants are implementing that are slowing down the revolving door of staff who are resigning. Together, we will break the silence and eat the elephant…one bite at a time.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

control, diminish, or devalue another
peer (or group) that creates a risk to
health and/or safety
(Quine 1999, Farrell 2005)

“I will get you behind your back”
A common behavioral issue in
women-dominated workplaces
MEECE , MICKEY ; Published: May 9, 2009
New York Times, Backlash: Women Bullying Women at Work
12
13. Sabotage Example
• Mary does not like her co-worker Nancy who is
very skilled and good at her job.
• Mary does not tell Nancy about changes in the
office that were discussed when she was not
there. She purposely does not send her jobs to
the print shop for completion of her project
and does not tell her. When the materials do
not come in, and Nancy does not understand
the delay, Mary is silent.
13
14. How it plays out in work
relationships
• “Frienemies”
• Exclusivity
14
15. Why Women?
• Boys learn to act out aggression at an
early age in play and sports, girls are often
discouraged from doing the same
DiCicio, Tony and Haacker, Colleen, PhD, (2002)
• Girls tend to prefer “sameness” aka: one
not developing, having or doing more
Mean Girls Grown Up, Dellasega, , 2005
15
16. Why is it?
• Women are taught to work for the welfare of
the group, men are taught to focus on personal
achievement
• Women develop their identities in the context
of relationships – who they are and how they
feel about themselves often come from
friendships and partnerships versus through
pure self worth/esteem/value
P. 21 Dellasega “Mean Girls Grown Up”, 2005
16
17. Facts
• “Women are more likely to
undermine and bully each other in
the workplace than to target a man”
(Heim, Murphy & Golant, 2010)
• In a survey of 60 women, 73% said
bullying in the workplace between
adult women is “common” or “very
common” (Dellasega, 2010)
17
18. Importance of Friendship
• Men often report their best friend to be
their female spouse or romantic
partner which is less true for women
Mean Girls Grown Up, Dellasega, , 2005
18
19. Self - Awareness
• What are your relationships like with
women?
• How well do you manage stress and
anger within yourself primarily and
then with others?
19
20. How Will I Recognize It?
The roles and how they play
themselves out through lateral
violence?
21. The Bully
• The seeds of this relationship style are most
often planted in middle school
• Bullies rarely recognize themselves as such
21
22. The Bully
Characteristics
• Poor self-esteem or egocentric
• Angry – may feel threatened
• Jealous
• Someone treated them badly
Photo source: Thehelpmovie.com
• Poor coping and stress
management
• Wants to win
22
23. Assess yourself… Am I a Bully?
1. I find it hard to create close relationships with
women
2. I have looked for ways to sabotage, intimidate
or get ahead at any cost
3. I am more likely to be irritated than intrigued
by other women
4. I often make the plans, call the shots without
asking for input
5. I cycle through co-workers, employees and
friends quickly
23
Dellasega, Cheryl, Mean Girls Grown Up (2007) p. 33-34
24. If You’re a Bully
Find opportunities to be assertive
instead of aggressive
Assertive in Conflict: Win/Win
Aggressive in Conflict: I win/You lose
If your behavior hurts or takes advantage
of another it needs to change
24
25. The Bystander
• Stands by and watches while others are
abused, shamed or mocked
• Source of bully power: being a “passive-aggressive”
partner
• Longs for acceptance
25
Photo source: Thehelpmovie.com
26. Assess yourself…
Am I a Bystander?
• I enjoy being in the middle of drama
• I use gossip as a way to connect with
others
• I look for ways to stay on the Bully’s
good side and prefer to work behind
the scenes
26
27. If You’re a Bystander
• Walk away from the drama situation
• Focus on problem-solving as a way to
connect instead of gossip
Whatever you put up with you promote
27
28. The Victim/Target
Common targets
– “Subordinates”
– New hires
• In a newly created position or replacement role
– “Different” from everyone in environment
– The “other”
– Interns, graduate nurses
28
Photo source: Thehelpmovie.com
29. Assess Yourself… Are You a
Target/Victim?
• As a young girl I was the victim of other girls
aggression
• Strong women intimidate me
• I will do anything to avoid conflict
• I am in an entry-level role and have little
power or say in my environment
• I’m often suspicious of people speaking
negatively about me
29
30. If You’re a Target/Victim
• While the Bully lashes out as a “preemptive
strike” to prevent others from hurting them, the
Victim may believe the abuse is warranted (self-
esteem, past experiences, role in organization)
• It only continues if you believe you are
deserving of the behavior. If you didn’t believe
it, how would/should you react?
• Report it to a leader or HR
30
31. Ways to Defend Yourself
1) Be aware of it. Labeling it for what it is reduces
its power over you. In other words, “call it out!”
2) Accept that it is not normal behavior and you
have every right to be treated as a valuable and
respected professional.
3) Manage your physical and emotional
expression when you know you are getting
upset or defensive.
4) Remove yourself if necessary to calm down.
5) Control your anger and stick to the facts.
6) Document the interaction.
7) Directly point out the inappropriate
behavior, but don’t attack the bully.
8) Inform your supervisor if you feel threatened.
(Adapted from Broome, 2008)
31
32. Tips for Dealing with
the Bully Boss
If you decide to remain working for this
person ask yourself:
• How important is this job to you?
• What can you tolerate?
32
33. Strategies for Moving Past
The Bully Boss
• Ignore the bait ~ the back handed compliment
• Persist in your goal
• Find alternate routes to success
• Maintain a positive attitude
• Keep the relationship professional
• Connect with other women
• Set boundaries
33
34. The Effects Bullying/Abuse
• Feeling a sense of shame
• Withdrawal from others
• Avoiding stressful circumstances
• Taking impact out on others
• Taking impact out on yourself
• Depressive symptoms like appetite or sleep changes

37. Anger Expression & Gender
• For women, anger is a very confusing emotion
that elicits feelings of hurt and disillusion.
“Violations of a woman’s core
values, beliefs, or principles provoke her angry
feelings. But her anger, even when produced
by a substantive violation, is often inhibited for
fear of damaging relationships.”
(Thomas, 2003, 104)
37
38. Anger Expression & Gender
• When there is lack of reciprocity of feeling, a
woman’s anger is usually triggered
• Most women are taught as young girls that anger is
unfeminine and unattractive; therefore, anger is
often withheld until it seeps out as either passive
and/or aggressive behavior that can be expressed as
lateral violence

emotion. MedSurg Nursing 12(2): 103-110. 38

• A man’s anger comes from a

Editor's Notes
Think about the movie “The Help”, lateral violence was a main theme
Note the pros and cons of “relationships” in review of the lateral violence document. Relationships can be “cliques that promote passive aggressive behavior” or they can be uplifting. Relationships are what build businesses
What attracts the media to woman-on-woman (WOW) bullying is the fact that women are targeted at a higher rate by female bullies (71%) than by male bullies (46%). Yes, women are crueler to women than they are to men, and that must be explained. But don’t forget that 60% of all bullies are men. 31% of all bullying is men-on-men, 29% is WOW. Why is there so little interest in the more frequent variety of same-gender bullying? May 20th, 2009 Workplace Bullying Institute
Frienemies = a “friend” who is an enemy, someone you compete with and have a professional or social tie to for some reason; it’s the equivalent of “keep your friends close and your enemies closer” – think of all the women who were “friends” with Hilly in “The Help” were they true friends or more likely to be bound by attempting to live up to a lifestyle and also feared her backlash (Skeeter being replaced as newsletter editor)
Bullet Two: Think of the girl who is identified as “going to be fast” due to her physical maturity OR the jealousy that comes with getting picked for additional training, or “she got that job because she “did something” to get it, not because it’s her own merit” - this person progressed ahead of the group.Since bully behaviors often develop by middle school it is also a time of changes for girls – physically and mentally and we (like it or not) become competitive with each other either for attention and recognition from boys or proving ourselves overall
What’s interesting to note is when the behaviors begin to target men – men will go straight to HR or a leader and confront the behavior
Women will often report another woman as being her best friend not her husband or another man
If women are socialized to not express anger feelings of frustration and anger will come out/manifest in another way. Can you think of times when you’ve had a bad day and taken it out on someone else?
Think of the movie “The Help”- the character “Hilly” is a classic example of the bully (pictured in bright pink floral dress) in this movie everyone else is a bystander or victim depending on what she was aiming for. Her view of herself was “doing what’s right”… perhaps she was responding to the stress of appearing “perfect”
Sample questions from the 15 questions in the book – these are all bully behaviorsIf you can answer “yes” to many of these questions you are likely to exhibit bully behavior
Think of the “card-club” and who could and could not join or the “toilet issue” – even though members may have objected to Hilly’s idea, no one said anything to her directly fearing backlash – this comes from a sense of powerlessness
P52 Mean Girls Grown UpWhatever you put up with you promote – is a saying that we use in our leadership classes at WFH
Differences can be a younger, ethnically/racially different, mom/ no kids… etc… anything that differentiates you from the group norm… even though diversity in a group makes the group stronger; it can be threatening to others.In the movie “The Help” Aibileen and Minny don’t have a choice of life position… it is imposed on them each manages this status differently. There is also the character of Celia Foote who dresses provocatively and is “different” from the ladies in the bridge club.
This can be in relationships as well
This person may look good to their superiors and colleagues; a competent subordinate may threaten themTips for working with this person:Avoid acting timidly or over-confidentRealize this person cannot admit to having made a mistakeAvoid upstaging Keep notes, know policy and when it’s violated
Do not divulge confidences: home-life, kids, feelings ~ keep it all about workMake friends out-side of your work-group
This is not to say that men are better rather we have different styles. This is comparative not competitive to state one is better than the other
Lateral violence examples: talking about someone behind their back, delaying responses to co-worker requests, making demeaning comments to co-workers or getting other co-workers to dislike a person
This can lead to passive aggressive behavior as well. Typically men will report that in male dominated workplaces anger will be abruptly and directly expressed to co-workers and then problem solving will begin. If that doesn’t work withdrawal from the workplace and workgroup will happen.
stemming from feelings of anger and aimed at inflicting pain
Bullet two: a group of friends who are all married stay at home mom’s had a new person who would be joining their group for a grill-out. The new person happened to be the girlfriend of one of the guys in the group who was just recently divorced. This group of women were all friends of the ex-wife and one of the women in particular did not like this “new girl”. In a previous conversation “the new girl” – who works full time outside the home – said “I don’t know how you do it all day, being at home with your kids” it was a time when all three of the kids were acting up and the intent was empathy. To set this “new girl” up for failure she made sure she told all the women that “the new girl” “thought being a stay-at-home mom was ridiculous”
The “male style” is the dominant form in the workplace as more men are in leadership roles; it is an adaptation for women to balance
One is NOT better than the other… they just are and can vary between genders
While as leaders we are taught to give negative feedback in private there are instances that require demonstrating “zero tolerance” demeaning behavior is one of them (do a self check with your comfort level in doing this and if you’re not what steps can you work through to become confident in interventions)
These strategies promote communication and give the group the foundation for positive group norms and expected behaviorsThese can be 15 minutes on a regular basis or in staff retreats
Women have this innate capacity to go with others and build deep relationships; it is a strength!
