Bullying is not the same as a conflict between people (like having a fight) or disliking someone, even though people might bully each other because of conflict or dislike.

Bullying is basically when people repeatedly and intentionally use words or actions against someone or a group of people to cause distress and risk to their wellbeing. People who do it usually have more influence or power over someone else, or want to make someone else feel less powerful or helpless.

Key Essential Investigations can assist by identifying the perpetrator and / or bad behaviours, allowing your business to immediately manage the situation and take corrective actions.
