Employer must ensure employees are not subject to bullying or harassment

Social exclusion is just one of the ways which could reasonably be regarded as undermining the individual’s right to dignity at work, thereby constituting bullying.

A study undertaken by Dr John Cullinan and Dr Margaret Hodgins at NUI Galway found that a total of 1.7 million days are lost due to workplace bullying every year, at a cost of €239m to the economy.
