Have you ever encountered a workplace bully – a manager, co-worker or someone you supervise? Most of us have -- and have the scars to prove it. Why do we allow this bad behavior to persist when we know it causes turnover, stress and dysfunctional teams, not to mention consuming hour upon hour of management time?

There are more than humanistic and management issues to consider. A number of states are entertaining legislation that would make workplace bullying unlawful – resulting in legal claims that could cost your organization huge amounts of money and untold amounts of bad press and public embarrassment. Plaintiffs’ lawyers rejoice when there’s a new reason to sue employers, forcing large settlements or winning enormous jury verdicts. In this timely audio conference, we consider the "No Jerks Rule" and how to bullet-proof your organization against workplace bullies and the associated fallout.
