Workshop for IUNG-PIB – Mobbing at work – causes, effects, prevention

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.
