Kako se lahko učinkovito spopademo s spletnim nadlegovanjem na delovnem mestu?

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.

Ali je duševno zdravje Evrope še vedno v krizi?

Duševno zdravje v Evropi je na kritičnem razpotju.

V tej epizodi Eurofoundovih pogovorov se Mary McCaughey pogovarja z višjim vodjo raziskav Hansom Duboisom o tem zapletenem vprašanju in poudarja, da slabo duševno zdravje nesorazmerno prizadene ranljive skupine.
