This year's ban bullying day is set for the 7th November. The aim is to raise awareness of the problem to a national audience and to organisations.
The campaign is aimed to be about everyone involved in the field of workplace bullying, so we can get the message out that this behaviour will no longer be accepted.
www.banbullyingatwork.com is now online and is a central resource for activities and links to all interested groups.
Please help us make this year's Ban Bullying Day a day to remember
The Andrea Adams Trust is the world's only non-political, non-profit making charity operating as the focus for the diverse and complex problems caused by bullying behaviour in the workplace.
When we talk about bullying at work we are referring to an abuse of power or position. It is offensive discrimination through persistant, vindictive, cruel or humiliating attempts to undermine, criticise, condemn, and to hurt or humiliate an individual or group of employees
It can make employees lives a misery, affect their performance and damage their careers. It can also have a serious impact on organisations: indeed, statistics show that each year as many as 18.9 million working days are lost to bullying and up to a half of all stress-related illnesses are a direct result of bullying.
The Trust works to reduce the incidence of workplace bullying by promoting a wider understanding of the issue and by providing a professional source of information, consultancy advice and help.
Through the Trust:-
EMPLOYEES - who have experienced the effects of bullying at work can find immediate and practical support
EMPLOYERS - who wish to build healthy corporate cultures, in which the bully will not thrive, can access specialist training and consultancy advice.
WE DON'T TAKE SIDES - We identify and separate the core problem from the emotional content in pursuit of a positive outcome, promoting a win/win situation to mutual benefit, whereby the individual retains his/her job and the organisation retains its staff and litigation is avoided.
