 Workplace Ostracism Worse Than Bullying Says Study
Researchers at the University of British Columbia have found that while most consider ostracism less harmful than bullying, feeling excluded is significantly more likely to lead to job dissatisfaction, quitting and health problems.
“We’ve been taught that ignoring someone is socially preferable–if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all,” says Sauder School of Business Professor Sandra Robinson, who co-authored the study. “But ostracism actually leads people to feel more helpless, like they’re not worthy of any attention at all.”
“There is a tremendous effort underway to counter bullying in workplaces and schools, which is definitely important. But abuse is not always obvious,” says Robinson.
The study also found that people who reported feeling ostracised were significantly more likely to quit.

 Want to Improve the Wellbeing of your Team?
Stress comes in many forms, sometimes positive and useful for peak performance, and sometimes counterproductive when built up over time.
Stress shows up as higher absenteeism, higher Workcover claims, poor performance, bullying behaviour, harassment, and a negative, toxic culture. Whilst most companies have preventative safety programs, they fail to provide managers with an understanding of what happens to a person when affected by a critical incident or cumulative stress at home or at work and what to do about it.
In this suite we offer three distinctly different, yet complimentary programs.

This suite of programs however goes wider than just your traditional values identification and alignment programs. Also included are how individuals and organisations can leave a legacy, multiple bottom lines and goal achievement.
