Workplace Bullying: Costly and
Preventable By Terry L Wiedmer
Workplace bullying is a pervasive practice by malicious individuals who seek power, control, domination, and subjugation. In businesses or schools, such bullying is an inefficient way of working that is both costly and preventable. Senior management and executives are ultimately responsible for creating and sustaining bully-free workplaces. Workplace bullies can be stopped if employees and employers work together to establish and enforce appropriate workplace policies and practices. This article presents information about workplace bullying, including its prevalence, targeted individuals, bullying behaviors, employer practices, and steps to prevent bullying. In the end, leadership and an environment of respect provide the ultimate formula for stopping workplace bullying.
Bullying occurs between and among people in all venues—in the home, community, and workplace. It is a pervasive, targeted, and planned effort that can be overtly obvious or can fly under the radar and is conducted by practiced and malicious individuals who seek power, control, domination, and subjugation. The impacts of such actions—in terms of finances, emotions, health, morale, and overall productivity—are destructive, and the ramifications are limitless (Mattice, 2009). Because no one is immune from the potential of being subjected to bullying in the workplace, this topic merits further review and analysis (Van Dusen, 2008).
To combat workplace bullying, often referred to as psychological harassment or violence (Workplace Bullying Institute [WBI], 2007), employers must have a full range of policies in place and means available to them to create and maintain a healthy workplace culture and climate. Although they are not generally for-profit endeavors, schools and school systems are purposeful businesses that share the same concerns and have the same responsibility to ensure that each employee works in a respectful environment and is not subjected to workplace bullies.
Workplace Bullying •
According to the Workforce Bullying Institute (WBI), workplace bullying is the repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons (the targets) by one or more perpetrators that takes one or more of the following forms: verbal abuse; offensive conduct/behaviors (including nonverbal) which are threatening, humiliating, or intimidating; and work interference—sabotage—which prevents work from getting done. (Definition of Workplace Bullying, para. 1) Bullies seek to induce harm, jeopardize one's career and job, and destroy interpersonal relationships. The behaviors of bullies harm people and ravage profits.
Prevalence of Workplace Bullying
Thirty-seven percent of U.S. workforce members report being bullied at work; this amounts to an estimated 54 million Americans, which translates to nearly the entire population of the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah (Namie, 2007). These statist.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. The prevention of workplace violence is a natural
extension of the responsibilities of safety and health
professionals. Hazard analysis, records analysis and
tracking, trend monitoring, incident analysis, and
prevention strategies based on administrative and
engineering controls are all fundamental to both
concepts. In addition, emergency response and
employee training are key elements of both.
Consequently, occupational safety and health
professionals are well suited to add the prevention of
workplace violence to their normal duties.
3. Violent acts, behavior, are threats that occur in the
workplace or are related to it. Such acts are harmful are
potentially harmful to people, property, or
organizational capabilities.
A workplace my be any location either permanent or
temporary where an employee performs any work-related
duty
4. Occupational violent crime (OVC). Intentional battery, rape

Employee-related outsider. An individual with some type of
personal relationship (past or present) with an employee,
but who has no work-related relationship with the
employee.
Customer. An individual who receives products or services
from the victim of a workplace-violence incident or from
the victim’s employer.

failure;
having problems with psychotropic substance abuse,

against oneself or others, such as having access to firearms.
12. Causal Interactions
Attackers and Victims
affected by the stress of overwork or certain light forms
of mental illness leading to misunderstanding or
misinterpretation on the part of the person who is
attacked,
lack of experience in resolving difficult problems at
work,
women are more likely than men to be victims of
violence but respond less aggressively; also more prone
are personality types that tend to be demonstrative,
expansive, less flexible or less displomatic, as opposed to
the kind of person who tends to be self-effacing in
difficult or delicate situations in the workplace.
13. Work Organization and Management
overcrowded, poorly-ventilated, dirty and noisy premise
a lack of precision in the assignment of roles and
responsibilities,
a poorly-distributed workload,
too many bureaucratic procedures and a lack of decision-
making autonomy among staff or with clients,
a centralized and depersonalized organizational culture, tied
to large companies in which the risks associated with
management are higher than in small companies,
14. a very authoritarian management style or one allowing very
little participation, where there is too wide a gap between job
design and task performance,
a work environment where employees and groups of
employees are isolated, encouraging mutual suspicion and
intentional disregard of various forms of workplace
discrimination,
a lack of job security caused by precarious employment and
the whole set of deteriorating working conditions associated
with the weakening of unions, globalization and budget
cutbacks in the public service
15. The situations which carry the highest risk of
external violence are listed as follows:
Working alone (night-time taxi drivers, investigative
journalists and foreign correspondents, service station
employees),
Being in contact with the public (members of the police
force, restaurant and hotel personnel and public
transportation employees: buslines, railway and subway
systems, airlines),
Handling valuable items and money (private security
agencies and retail sales),
Assisting people in distress and their family and friends
(homecare, social services, detoxification centres, emergency
services, psychiatric hospitals, senior citizens' homes),
Working in education (schools in poor neighbourhoods of
large cities or in rural and outlying areas),
Holding a job in particularly vulnerable conditions (child
slave labour in sweatshops or in the street, unskilled workers
in outlying rural areas and immigrants).
16. The situations which carry the highest risk of
internal violence are tied to events that affect the
working conditions of employees and are listed as
follows:
Recruitment, selection and integration of employees,
Performance or salary appraisals,
Applying disciplinary measures including moving staff
around, (transferring from one team to another, demoting,
suspending, firing, dismissing without notice),

workplace assaults and what to do when an assault
occurs, including emergency action and post
emergency procedures.
21. TYPE 2: Violence directed at employees by customers,
clients, patients, students, inmates, or any others for
whom an organization provides services.
22. Controlling access into and out of the workplace and
freedom of movement within workplace.
Placing barriers between clients and service providers.
Escape routes
Installation of alarm systems or panic buttons.
Presence of security personnel.
23. TYPE 3: Violence event consists of:
Current or former employee
Some other person who has a dispute with an employee
of the affected workplace (e.g., relative, partners).
24. Provide trainings
Monitoring and appropriately responding to such
behavior.
Establish a clear anti-violence management policy.
Applying the policy consistently and fairly to all
employees.
25. Individual Factors Associated with Violence
Record of violence.
Membership in a hate group.
Psychotic behavior.
Romantic obsessions.
Depression.
Finger pointers.
Unusual frustration levels
Obsession with weapons.
Drug dependence.
26. Environmental Factors Associated with Violence
Dictatorial management.
Role ambiguity.
Partial, inconsistent supervision.
Unattended hostility.
No respect for privacy.
Insufficient training.
27. The Workplace Culture
Companies that place the welfare of workers ahead of
even their customers have happier employees that
value their jobs and safety measures against workplace
violence. This emphasizes on communication between
management and worker, continuous training, and
team work. Make it a habit to perform a manage-
worker consultation with regards to making decisions
in the workplace, such as making settlements on
grievances through negotiation and arbitration
between labor-management committees.
28. Training
Train managers to seriously address worker
complaints, acknowledge feelings, even when workers
may be mistaken with how they perceive situations in
the workplace. The best training for managers is to
inform workers of new policies and how these relate to
the different positions in the company. Such makes it
less likely for workers to have negative reactions about
policy changes in your organization, and promotes
healthy relationships. Training is best retained when
you repeat it regularly.
29. Rules
Establishing rules about violence and harassment
backs up your company's education on the nature of
violence in the workplace. These rules may include
such prohibitions as: "No employee shall yell, swear,
insult, or harass another member of the company" or
define terms such as "physical abuse, including
pushing, is also prohibited." Issuing rules sets your
company's expectations on the extent of workplace
violence and harassment.
30. Performance Reviews
Regular appraisals help establish your company's
expectations on employee performance. Appraisals
built on performance and based on what other
employees think of a particular worker is better than
single-manager appraisals (currently the norm in most
corporate cultures). Performance reviews involving
team members are carried out by maintaining the
anonymity of reviewers so that no personal grudges
build up, only an objective review.
31. Layoff and Firing Policy
Layoffs are a situation that comes to companies reeling
in crisis, which often rouse violent reactions among
those workers facing termination. To prevent
workplace violence in reaction to layoffs or firing (as a
result of unreliability, incompetence, drunkenness,
etc.), your organization has to setup an exit program
consisting of counseling and out-placement help. Also
don't miss to acknowledge the employee's
contributions to the organization and allow each fired
worker time to bid farewell to co-workers.
32. Pre-Employment Screening
Workplace violence is not only instigated by virulent
reactions towards policy changes in your
organizations. Many instances of workplace violence
stems from psychologically and/or emotionally
disturbed individuals who got through undetected in
the screening process. To prevent such loopholes in
the beginning part of recruitment, a pre-employment
interview that delves deep into an applicant's ability to
adapt to different workplace tensions and fit into your
organization's community should be made.
33. Drug-and-Alcohol-Free Workplace
The widespread use and abuse of drugs and alcohol are
matters that often occur outside the control of
management. However, even when seemingly
unstoppable, your organization should have stringent
rules that deal with individuals who come to the
workplace intoxicated or who brings, shares, and
distributes drugs and alcohol.
34. Provide safety education for employees so they know
what conduct is not acceptable, what to do if they
witness or are subjected to workplace violence, and
how to protect themselves.
Secure the workplace. Where appropriate to the
business, install video surveillance, extra lighting, and
alarm systems and minimize access by outsiders
through identification badges, electronic keys, and
guards.
Provide drop safes to limit the amount of cash on
hand. Keep a minimal amount of cash in registers
during evenings and latenight hours.
35. Equip field staff with cellular phones and hand-held alarms
or noise devices, and require them to prepare a daily work
plan and keep a contact person informed of their location
throughout the day. Keep employer provided vehicles
properly maintained.
Instruct employees not to enter any location where they
feel unsafe. Introduce a “buddy system” or provide an
escort service or police assistance in potentially dangerous
situations or at night.
Develop policies and procedures covering visits by home
health-care providers. Address the conduct of home visits,
the presence of others in the home during visits, and the
worker’s right to refuse to provide services in a clearly
hazardous situation.
36. Nothing can guarantee that an employee will not become a
victim of workplace violence. These steps, however, can
help reduce the odds:
Learn how to recognize, avoid, or diffuse potentially violent
situations by attending personal safety training programs.
Alert supervisors to any concerns about safety or security
and report all incidents immediately in writing.
Avoid traveling alone into unfamiliar locations or situations
whenever possible.
Carry only minimal money and required identification into
community settings.
37. Encourage employees to report and log all incidents and threats of
workplace violence.
Provide prompt medical evaluation and treatment after the incident.
Report violent incidents to the local police promptly.
Inform victims of their legal right to prosecute perpetrators.
Discuss the circumstances of the incident with staff members.
Encourage employees to share information about ways to avoid similar
situations in the future.
Offer stress debriefing sessions and posttraumatic counseling services
to help workers recover from a violent incident.
Investigate all violent incidents and threats, monitor trends in violent
incidents by type or circumstance, and institute corrective actions.
Discuss changes in the program during regular employee meetings.
