The stress caused by being bullied, or working in a toxic environment of bullying, may result in psychological problems such as anxiety and depression, and directly or indirectly cause physical injuries. Employees affected by bullying behaviour in the work place are more likely to make mistakes.These mistakes created by a bullying culture may also lead to loss of productivity, low turnover, increased absenteeism, reduced performance, low morale, and end in costly worker's compensation claims or legal action. Everyone in the workplace deserves to work in a bully free environment and be treated with respect. Bullying should not be regarded as 'normal'Bullying behaviour in the workplace should not be considered as a normal day activity. Bullying is best dealt with by taking steps to prevent it long before the bullying becomes a risk to employees' health and safety.
