Tackling bullying and harassment at work - a guide for union reps and workers

Chapter 6

Rehabilitation

[ch 6: page 68]

If bullying or harassment at work leads to ill health and sickness, a period of rehabilitation may be required. It is also important to ensure that the return to work is properly managed. Research has shown that it can take months or in some cases even years to recover from the effects of bullying. Sometimes training can also be offered to the victim of bullying.
