Good-practice recommendations and guidance on bullying and harassment in the workplace
Employers are responsible for preventing bullying and harassment in the workplace and for making clear it won't be tolerated. In this section we provide information on all aspects of bullying, which can be characterised as offensive, intimidating or malicious behaviour. We also provide resources on harassment, defined in the Equality Act 2010 as unwanted conduct related to a protected characteristic which has the purpose or effect of violating an individual’s dignity.
Understand the legal positions on bullying and harassment at work, and how employers and employees can address the problem.
