Just The Facts
False Bullying Claims
Evidence suggests that some employers believe that the present state of the economy is driving employees to make an increasing number of “false” bullying allegations. Although there have been some rumblings about employees making allegations to “secure their employment” it is imperative that employers treat each allegation seriously. This means investigating bullying allegations fairly and impartially, so that factual conclusions can then be made with rigour, and future decision-making is grounded and defensible. Dispute resolution specialists, such as Worklogic Consulting, warn employers to “assume nothing” when they receive a bullying claim.
