Preventing violence and harassment in the workplace (info sheet)

This information sheet provides a brief overview of the Foundation's research report (EF02109) concerning the extent, focus and implications of violence and harassment in the workplace in the EU. It presents evidence of the adverse effects on individuals, organisations and society, and assesses the potential financial costs. It reviews the upsurge in regulatory activity and legislation with respect to preventing and managing violence and harassment at work. A report summary on this topic is also available (EF02112). Information sheets set out a brief overview of each project, forming a useful introduction point. They answer key questions as to: What is the project about? Why is the research being carried out? What are the findings/objectives and whom do they concern? When will the project be completed? How might the findings be translated into action?
