Bullying and harassment at work
Bullying and harassment in the workplace is a common issue for employees and an issue on which we advise our clients on a regular basis.
Sometimes bullying and harassment can amount to unlawful discrimination under the Equality Act 2010, and, with our experience of handling discrimination issues, we are well placed to advise you if that is the case.
More often however, bullying and harassment is simply behaviour which makes your working life a misery and may, in extreme cases, cause you to consider leaving your employment and claim that you have been constructively and unfairly dismissed.
When advising on this sensitive and often complex issue, we always start by asking you to identify your objectives – where you want to be at the end of the day – so that we can advise on the best course of action and steer you towards those objectives. This may mean:
- advising you about internal procedures which are available to you
- advising about external dispute resolution
- negotiating an amicable resolution to the problem
- threatening and, if necessary, bringing an employment tribunal claim
The solution will always depend on your objectives and we will always try to help you solve your problem as effectively and cost efficiently as possible.
