Today on the MIX Morning Show, Jodie Jenkins, Mariam Serkal and Dr Julie Gowthorpe RSW talk about workplace harassment.
How can it be dealt, especially when the person creating the problem is a supervisor. And why does that power difference matter so much?
Workplace harassment is not simply about hurt feelings. When someone feels threatened, humiliated, watched, or unsafe over time, it can affect sleep, physical health, confidence, relationships, and their ability to function.
And for organizations, having a respectful-workplace policy is not enough.
The real test is whether people can raise concerns safely, whether feedback is fair and clear, and whether people with power are held to the same standards as everyone else. It is not only about whether one person is disciplined. It is whether the workplace actually becomes safer afterwards.
