Workplace bullying, harassment, and incivility are pervasive issues that impact both individuals and organizations. This PDW explores these challenges from two key perspectives: organizational and individual. The organizational perspective will cover strategies for "bully-proofing" an organization, building a strong ethical infrastructure, and ensuring effective complaint management. Additional topics will include the role of organizational culture, incentive systems, and the implications of marginalizing certain workforce segments, with an intersectional focus on race and gender, as well as legal and ethical considerations. The individual perspective will focus on bystander reactions, workplace allyship, incivility, cyberbullying, and the factors that lead to deviant behavior. Roundtable topics will include organizational prevention of bullying, intersectionality in workplace harassment, women of color’s experiences of mistreatment, and the use of AI in addressing workplace incivility. Additional discussions will cover sexual harassment, measurement challenges, and the rise of cyberbullying in remote work environments. Join us for a comprehensive, interactive session aimed at developing strategies for preventing and addressing workplace mistreatment from multiple perspectives.
