Bullying & Harassment Solicitors in Essex

Bullying and harassment in the workplace can be devastating for the victim. Many employees often endure bullying or harassment at work, an environment whereby everybody should be treated with dignity and respect. Many employees are unaware of the protections afforded to them by the law.

Examples of bullying/harassing behaviour include:

• spreading malicious rumours, or insulting someone by word or behaviour (particularly on the grounds of age, race, sex, disability, sexual orientation and religion or belief)
• copying memos that are critical about someone to others who do not need to know
• ridiculing or demeaning someone – picking on them or setting them up to fail
• exclusion or victimisation
• unfair treatment
• overbearing supervision or other misuse of power or position
• unwelcome sexual advances – touching, standing too close, the display of offensive materials, asking for sexual favours, making decisions on the basis of sexual advances being accepted or rejected
• making threats or comments about job security without foundation
• deliberately undermining a competent worker by overloading and constant criticism
• preventing individuals progressing by intentionally blocking promotion or training opportunities.
