Big Question | How do you combat workplace bullying? Ep25

Big Questions, Short Answers with Sian Jaquet

What happens when the power dynamic at work transforms into a tool of intimidation and belittlement? Our latest podcast episode tackles the pervasive and often misunderstood issue of workplace bullying. We begin by defining it as a repeated, intentional act designed to harm, distinguishing it from mere managerial directives. We delve into the psychology behind bullying, often rooted in the bully's insecurities and desire for power, and discuss how past experiences can skew one's perception of being bullied. Recognising these patterns is crucial to understanding the fine line between clear boundaries and real bullying.
Finding your voice amid such adversity is another critical theme. We explore how resilience and self-protection can be nurtured from childhood through to adulthood. Effective strategies include assertive communication and calmly confronting disrespectful behaviour. Self-awareness, coupled with a solid foundation of evidence, plays a vital role in addressing these issues. Interestingly, many bullies may simply lack self-awareness and can change once they understand their impact. Join us for actionable insights into creating a more respectful and empowering workplace.
