Abstract This article presents the results of a survey on how Belgian enterprises are addressing the issue of bullying and the extent to which they are already implementing the provisions of a proposed law due to be effective in mid-2002. A questionnaire was sent to 375 enterprises, among which 233 (59.5%) responded. The following aspects were examined: prevalence of complaints; existence of a policy; measures taken in favour of the victim; disciplinary and other measures taken against the perpetrators; extent to which the measures required under the proposed law have already been introduced.
