Workplace bullying (mobbing, emotional violence) is referred to by some as "the silent epidemic." What exactly is it, who is affected and how does it impact an organization's bottom line? In 2007, Zogby International conducted a U.S. Workplace Bullying survey which revealed that 37% of American workers have been bullied yet it is a problem often ignored by employers. The impact on the target, the team, and the business results in lowered productivity, poor morale and serious costs to the organization. This absorbing and important presentation will address the difficult challenges inherent in confronting this serious workplace problem.
1:15 - 2:45 p.m. Charlie McIntire, LCSW, CEAP - "Angrrr! Management - A Workplace Challenge"
This workshop focuses on the roots of anger and how it plays out in the workplace, what can be done to help employees control their anger, and how EA professionals can assist the HR professionals we serve in preventing, managing, and resolving workplace conflict.
