In this series of posts we are looking at how to deal with intimidation and harassment from co-workers and supervisors.
When an employee’s concerns are continually be brushed aside by management, the victim needs to consider taking more assertive action.
Allison & Taylor Reference Checking provides a service whereby an employee can find out exactly what someone is saying about them personally and in regard to their work performance. If a workplace bully is speaking out of turn when responding to an employment inquiry, employees can exercise the option of a Cease & Desist letter or pursue more substantive legal action. Such tools will help ensure that the transgressor will stop their actions out of fear of corporate reprisal.
