Good evening everyone!  I'm Jeff N Marquis co-author of "Untapped Wealth Discovered."
This evening I'd like to zoom in on the increasing number of bullies in our workplace and how they are causing and bringing more and more stress to the workplace.  It is estimated that one in every six workers is a victim of bullying and that most of our bullies these days are women.  In addition, they are saying that bullying is on the increase because more and more workers are under stress to produce more for less pay and those who are having difficulty producing are turning to bullying to help them get their work done.  In so many cases we are seeing that most workers are choosing to change jobs rather than face their bullies and this is leading to loss of production and higher turn over of employees.
There are so many theories being offered as to why bullying in the workplace is on the rise.  Anything from friction among employees to friction between management and employees, pressure to get ahead in the workplace,  pressure to keep one's job, pressure for managers to produce more, and so on.  More often than not managers fail to recognize the signs of bullying either because they are not properly trained to spot the signs, or because they choose to deliberately ignore it.  Whatever the reasons, there seems to be a growing concern over the increased trend towards bullying in the workplace and the experts are calling for companies to do something about it before it starts to get out of hand.
I have talked to several workers who have admitted to being victims of bullying.  Some have chosen to go along with the bullies, others have chosen to stand up to their attackers, but the majority of them have taken the path of quitting and seeking employment elsewhere.  Believe it or not bullying in the workplace can lead to tremendous stress and in turn this leads to an increase in sick days, visits to the doctor for stress related symptoms, depression, problems at home, lack of sleep, and much more.
There has to be a team effort among employees, management, and the company as a whole if we are to take this problem in hand and the sooner we do this the better it is going to be for all.
If you are tired of being bullied then it's time for you to speak up.  If you know someone who is either being bullied or you know of a bully then you need to report this ASAP.
