When an individual is, or a group of individuals are
, being bullied they are victims of actions or comments which are viewed as demeaning and unacceptable and the bullying often takes place in front of other colleagues in order to humiliate the victim. The bullies come across as intimidating and malicious and their bullying and/or harassment will often be work related but equally may be centred around a non-work related issue. It is important that employers and employees work together to ensure that any bullying or harassment issue is dealt with as soon as possible for the sake of all of those involved.
