A Smart Approach to the Prevention of Bullying and Harassment - with Karen Maher

In this episode we chat with Karen Maher, Founder of SmartCulture. Karen describes for us the current state of workplace bullying in Australia, and the consequences for victims, bystanders, people accused of bullying, and the organisations in which bullying occurs. She discusses the impact of the pandemic on bullying behaviours, and shares why she coined the term "pandemic bullying". She shares some practical examples of risk management approaches to bullying prevention, and provides strategies for people witnessing bullying on how to be an "active bystander". https://smartculture.com.au/
