What is Workplace Mobbing?
Workplace mobbing is a ‘virus’ or a ‘cancer’ that spreads through malicious gossip, rumour, hearsay, and unfounded accusations. Perpetrators are usually part of the dominant group and targets are often isolated and blamed as the one at fault.
These damaging behaviours are often done with deliberate intent to have those targeted ‘eliminated’ or ‘forced out’ of their employment.
Accusations of unsubstantiated ‘bullying’ can even be made against those targeted as the perpetrators realise the benefits of claiming ‘victim’ status.
Those targeted are sometimes change agents, whistle-blowers, and high achievers.
A Little About Us & How We Can Help
Who We Are
I’m Dr Linda Shallcross. Director of Workplace Mobbing Australia. I have a small team of researchers and health professionals who share my drive to eliminate bullying in the workplace. The team can help prevent mobbing and bullying behaviours through professional development workshops that are individually tailored to meet the specific needs of the organisation.
What We Do
Contact Us
I know that taking action requires courage. Having taken the first step, as well as perhaps getting help from medical professionals, you need expert support from someone who understands the issues. That’s my role, and I will work with you and your legal representatives to identify areas of any improper practice in relation to relevant legal and policy frameworks.
Need someone to talk to?
To assist those who need someone to talk to, an after-hours counselling and advisory service is available by contacting support@workplacemobbing.com who will get back to you within 24 hours. This is provided at minimum cost.
