What to do if you are being bullied at work

 

1. If possible talk to the bully, as they may not realise how their behaviour is affecting you. Plan what to say, explain calmly and politely what they have been doing and why you object to it. If you don't want to speak to them ask someone else to do if for you.

2. Get advice from someone you can trust: your trade union, someone in the Human Resources department or your manager.

3. Keep a record of every time you feel bullied, the details and any relevant documents, e.g. emails, so that if you have to make a formal complaint or take legal action you'll have evidence to back up your claims.

4. Follow your organisation's grievance procedure and make a formal complaint.

5. If the problem is still not resolved you can take legal action
