- All sensible employers have a policy on harassment and discrimination. A policy protects both employees and the employer. The motivation is twofold: to provide an atmosphere in which employees can fulfil the duties and obligations of their contract free from harassment, discrimination, victimisation and scapegoating, and to comply with UK and European law, specifically, the Sex Discrimination Act (1975), the Race Relations Act (1976), and the Disability Discrimination Act (1996), and Employment Law including the latest Employment Equality Regulations (2005).

- He's that guy who steals a fellow worker's tools. The supervisor who criticizes subordinates so harshly in staff meetings. The jokester who makes cruel comments at a colleague's expense. They are workplace bullies, and their actions are a costly drain on your company. Bullying in the workplace manifests as "psychological violence," with the bully targeting people he or she perceive as weaker than himself or herself. Personal insecurities lead the bully to belittle others to make him or her feel more in control. As with those who perpetrate sexual harassment or make racist comments both specific and extreme forms of bullying is all about power.

- As surprising as it sounds, bullying has become a major problem in the workplace. Bullying can take the form of threats, sexual and racial harassment, intimidations, and even physical violence. Bullying is not only harmful to the targeted employee. It also brings down a company's overall morale and profitability. Employers should be aware of the problem and then make it clear that bullying has no place in their business.
