Discuss, defuse, and de-escalate
Respectful Resolution is an approach that advocates reducing bullying and other poor behaviours through discussion and de-escalation rather than disciplinary.
No one should feel unfairly treated at work
Unpleasant work dynamics can be challenging, but the effects on staff are profound. A recent study revealed the experience of those who had encountered on-the-job bullying.
- 50% suffered from depression, loss of effect and flashbacks
- 60% experienced heart palpitations, raised blood pressure and insomnia
- 75% reported a loss of concentration, memory and overwhelming anxiety
- Over 80% felt they were in ‘anticipation of the next negative event’
Bullying doesn't just affect wellbeing - it can harm safety too
In the most safety-conscious sectors, such as healthcare, evidence shows that poor behaviour harms quality.
A 2015 study of NICU clinicians showed that even ‘mild incivility’ in a clinical setting causes significantly more errors of diagnosis and mistakes in execution of clinical procedures. Bullying breaks down the teamwork that is essential for high quality patient care. In fact, just a 5% decrease in staff rating of ‘working in a real team’ correlated with a 3.3% increase in mortality rates. If it has this kind of effect in healthcare, what impact might it have in your organisation?
