Kaip galime veiksmingai kovoti su elektroninėmis patyčiomis darbe?

Over the last decade, information and communication technologies have changed the way employees work and communicate with each other. While the digitalisation of work offers many benefits, widespread access to digital devices in working life has provided fertile ground for the emergence of new forms of antisocial behaviours, including workplace cyberbullying.

In this episode of Eurofound Talks, Mary McCaughey speaks with Eurofound Senior Research Manager Sara Riso about what constitutes cyberbullying, how widespread the issue of cyberbullying at work is, and whether there is sufficient legislation and workplace rules to address it effectively.

They discuss how bullying and cyberbullying have emerged as prominent issues in national policy debates, primarily as problems affecting young people rather than as a more general phenomenon in the workplace and detrimental to workers’ well-being.

Whether online or face to face – it would seem that bullying at work is more prevalent than commonly acknowledged.

Ar Europos psichikos sveikata vis dar išgyvena krizę?

Psichikos sveikata Europoje atsidūrė kritinėje kryžkelėje. Nors kai kurie rodikliai po pandemijos pagerėjo, naujoje EUROFOUND ataskaitoje atskleidžiamos nerimą keliančios tendencijos, įskaitant nerimą keliantį dešimtmečius trunkančio savižudybių mažėjimo sustabdymą. Šiame EUROFOUND pokalbių epizode Mary McCaughey kalbasi su vyresniuoju tyrimų vadovu Hansu Dubois apie šią sudėtingą problemą, pabrėždama, kad prasta psichikos sveikata neproporcingai veikia pažeidžiamas grupes.
