This week, Lucinda is joined by Cathie Donaldson, a specialist in people, culture and leadership development, and Nicki Eyre, an anti-bullying advocate, consultant, coach and trainer, to discuss the ways in which we as professionals should approach and tackle the thorny subject of workplace bullying.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Workplace bullying can impact many areas of business, including performance, engagement and inclusion. It slowly gnaws away at the culture we seek to instil.
Bullying is hard to define, which is one of the main issues for its propagation. The closest thing we have to a definition is "behaviour from a personal group that's unwanted and makes you feel uncomfortable, including being frightened or intimidated, less respected or put down"
Formal processes can often be not fit for purpose, and can be incredibly damaging to all involved. We must remember that personal feeling is at the heart of the complaint.
The cost of conflict in the workplace is around £28bn per year in terms of lost productivity, loss of working ours, and eventual impact upon services such as the NHS.

BEST MOMENTS
'We must transform behaviours in business and create those compassionate and courages workplaces of the future'
'This is a global issue. It's not limited to the UK at all'
'Bullying is unwanted conduct and the way it makes you feel'
'I had to fight, not just for myself but everyone else'
