Life at the Sharp End

3 • Organisation responses to workplace bullying - silencing or supporting complainants?


Listen Later

This is the second part of Jane’s story. In the previous episode, we heard how Jane* - an experienced HR professional - found herself becoming the target of workplace bullying, and the impact of process failures on her physical and psychological health.

Armed with upheld investigation findings, Jane just wanted to get back into the workplace and get her HR career back on track, supporting others and making a difference.

When organisations respond to workplace bullying, do they support complainants in returning to work, restore relationships and learn from findings to build safer, more respectful workplace cultures?

Let's hear from Jane about what happened next, and her thoughts on the lessons that other leaders can learn about humanity, apology and integrity.


*Jane isn't her real name, and we've disguised her voice. Like many complainants, fear of retaliation means she wanted to speak anonymously.
