Strategies For Surviving Bullying at Work [Paperback]

No one goes to work to be humiliated, abused, ostracised, subjected to rumours, or assaulted. Yet this is the reality of a working day for many employees. Now you can do something about it. From the author of the highly successful introduction to workplace bullying “Bully Blocking at Work”, comes a practical guide to empower all employees to care for themselves and  colleagues when faced with bullying behaviours.
