Summary
Preventing and managing workplace bullying, including sexual harassment, is not just a ‘feel good’ exercise, or something organisations should only do when they are faced with a complaint. It is part of core business. Employers and managers have a duty of care as part of occupational health and safety laws to prevent hazards that might contribute to workplace injuries. This book shows you how to meet these responsibilities using practical, sensible strategies based on a framework of:
- understanding what bullying and sexual harassment really mean,
- using a risk management approach to identify issues in the workplace,
- implementing procedures to control risk,
- taking action when things go wrong.

Critics Review
“An essential book for anyone interested in this critical workplace issue, written by someone who genuinely knows her stuff.” – James Adonis, Business Writer, Fairfax Media.
“Moira’s approach to workplace bullying is realistic, practical and well-informed. She deals with the complexities and ambiguities in bullying through a comprehensive and well written text. Ideal for HR Practitioners, small business owners and OH&S professionals who want to improve their practice. This is a really good book!” – Charlotte Rayner. Professor of Human Resource Management, Portsmouth Business School, UK.
“Moves beyond a simplistic approach of trying to solve bullying by focusing solely on the individuals involved. Instead, Moira utilises over a decade of research to provide guidance from a perspective that addresses not only individual behaviours, but the background risks that contribute to the behaviour. This is a useful and practical guide for all professionals who are interested in preventing and managing workplace bullying.” – Karl Luke, Partner, Thomsons Lawyers
