Työnhauissa

Työnhauissa, also known as "workplace bullying" in English, refers to repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons by one or more perpetrators. It can take many forms, including verbal abuse, social isolation, and sabotage of work. Unlike workplace harassment, which is based on a protected characteristic such as race or gender, työnhauissa is not necessarily based on any specific characteristic.

The effects of työnhauissa can be severe, including increased stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as physical health issues such as headaches and digestive problems. It can also lead to decreased job satisfaction, lower productivity, and increased absenteeism. Victims of työnhauissa may also experience a decrease in self-esteem and a sense of powerlessness.

Työnhauissa is a significant issue in many workplaces, with estimates suggesting that it affects a substantial portion of the workforce. It can occur in any industry and at any level of an organization. However, it is often more prevalent in environments where there is a lack of supervision, clear policies, or a culture that tolerates or even encourages such behavior.

Preventing työnhauissa involves creating a positive work environment, providing training and education on respectful workplace behavior, and having clear policies and procedures in place to address and resolve incidents. Employers and employees both have a role to play in preventing and addressing työnhauissa.
