Abstract |
This report presents the findings of a European project on violence and harassment at the workplace. It identifies the different forms and patterns of violence and harassment at the workplace in the EU and describes the recent upsurge in activity and initiatives in this field within the legal arena, with new legislation addressing these problems recently enacted or in the pipeline in a number of countries. It also presents evidence of adverse effects of such behaviour on individuals, organizations and society, and assesses the potential financial costs. Finally, it analyses the factors that contribute to physical and psychological violence, and reviews a variety of good practices with respect to preventing and managing violence and harassment at work. |
