Bullying, Harassment, and Violence: What's Atmosphere Got To Do With It? By Dennis A. Davis, Ph.D. Director of Client Training for Ogletree Deakins
Most organizations have anti-harassment policies. Additionally, many employers have also now put their desire to m aintain a bull ying-free and violence-free work place into a polic y as well. These policies are designed to explicitly state the company stance; establish a line between acceptable and unacceptable behavior; and provide an avenue for relief to employees who have been subjected to inappropriate behavior.
That organizations recognize the significant impact violence and harassment can have on their environment is the good news. The less-than-good news is that too often these unacceptable behaviors are seen as completely unrelated. There are even instances where the professionals who are responsible for maintaining a violence-free environment are completely cut off from those responsible for the anti-harassment program. The next step in the evolution of the discussion of violence is the integration with other topics of concern in the workplace and the recognition that atmospheric changes affect all mal-adaptive behaviors. Research suggests that certain atmospheric conditions allow bullying, harassment, and even violence to take hold in the workplace.
