You can call it corporate abuse, or mobbing, or workplace bullying, but the result is still the same - staff who become demoralised and lose confidence, staff who leave. Often ignored or swept under the carpet, it causes huge financial losses in the corporate world and robs companies of talent. In this ground-breaking work, New Zealand human resource expert Andrea W. Needham takes a hard look at a very dubious workplace practice. Often described as 'tough' managers by their superiors, the workplace bully can destroy the career paths of many excellent employees. If you have ever been the target of a workplace bully or you are a manager wanting to attract and keep the very best people, Workplace Bullying is essential reading. Andrea Needham is a management consultant and HR specialist with experience in New Zealand and overseas. She is also an expert on family violence. Andrea returned to New Zealand in the late 90s and left one job as the result of workplace bullying.
