| Abstract |
Workplace harassment occurs when a person subjects another in the workplace to degrading behaviour, ranging from verbal abuse or threats to actual physical violence. It is an inappropriate expression of power that adversely affects workers and their productivity, and that requires both legal and non-legal redress. Legal remedies available to victims of such harassment are surveyed, and measures, both legal and non-legal, which might be applied in the workplace to prevent such unacceptable behaviour are explored. Topics: Australia; bullying; discriminatory practices; human behaviour; labour-management relations; legislation; neuropsychic stress; sexual harassment; violence; workmen's compensation. |
