Pie in the sky.

Perhaps if staff started claiming industrial injuries because working in a bullying environment has made them ill then things might change.

Why do I have the feeling that this suggestion is just another way for organisations to put a sticking plaster (and tick a box) on the serious problems of culture that really affect staff, but can then claim they are helping?

How many people work in an organisation that says it values and respects its staff, and yet the actions of the organisation on a day to day basis indicate the contrary?

For example, I see over a third - in fact, 38% of staff in 2011 in Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust reported suffering work-place related stress. 38%! Why is this - surely not just for a want of mental health first aiders?

Should a "world class" business expect a figure below this ?
