No one goes to work to be humiliated, abused, ostracised, subjected to rumours, or assaulted.

Yet this is the reality of a working day for more than one in six workers. Bullying extends far beyond the schoolyard into our adult lives. Its psychological and financial costs to a working nation are immense.

Bullying causes billions of dollars in lost productivity, expensive mistakes, employee replacement costs, and health and welfare rehabilitation expenses. Most workplaces currently have few resources and systems to deal with the problem, leaving the victims to sink or swim, and the bullies to remain professionally incompetent.

Bully Blocking at Work is a self-help guide for readers to understand and confront bullying within their workplace. Appropriate for reference at any stage, before, during or after bullying, it provides a research-based, balanced and comprehensive approach which focuses upon respect and responsibility for all concerned and deals with both prevention and treatment. It features a range of real-life stories, humour, questionnaires, cartoons, sample retorts and useful quotations to guide the reader to a positive outcome.

Australia's leading expert in bullying behaviour has combined years of clinical experience with meticulous research, to create an indispensable compendium on workplace bullying.

Michael Carr-Gregg, Psychologist

Evelyn Field's masterful analysis of the ways we can help employees cope with and overcome workplace bullying and harassment is a must read for all concerned about how to right this wrong.
