Despite the widespread issue of counteracting mobbing and discriminatory behaviour, we still meet with such people or hear that people from our environment experience them.

On Wednesday, 12 January 2023, a training was conducted entitled: “Mobbing at work – causes, effects, prevention” for all IUNG-PIB employees on the MS Teams platform.

The scope of the lecture covered the following topics:

  • Mobbing and discrimination and harassment – similarities and differences.
  • Mobbing – definitions, characteristics.
  • Mobbing and behaviour are usually confused with it.
  • Types of mobbing.
  • Causes of mobbing.
  • People are exposed to mobbing.
  • Characteristics of mobbers.
  • The effects of mobbing.
  • Ways to counteract.
