Default Bullying can seriously affect one's mental health

Emma Mamo at Mind recently came out and aired her concerns that bullying in the workplace could seriously affect one's mental health. Mind is a mental health charity that operates in Wales and England.

It seems that bullying can cause further stress, depression and victims often call in sick.

I've read about that piece. Mamo even advised HR and businesses to take these incidences seriously. Mamo suggested that staff bullying should be reported to one's line manager or with HR personnel, so we really have a role in tackling bullying in the workplace.

I really think that if everybody became more sensitive to each other's feelings then this would not be a problem.

I agree, sometimes bullies don't even know what they are doing. They don't know that their acts constitute bullying.

This actually isn't new. A lot of studies have revealed the same thing before, including a recent one from Sheffield University.
