5 Phases of the Mobbing Process
School Mobbing and Emotional Abuse
Keynote topics
Mobbing : Risk
Management “Double Whammy” – See It, Stop It, Prevent It.
Experiencing high turnover, low morale, decreased productivity, high
absenteeism? This term may be new to you but you will quickly recognize the
behavior. One or more individuals gang up to force someone out of the workplace
through rumor, innuendo, intimidation, discrediting, humiliation, and wrongly
portray the targeted person as being at fault. Mobbing seriously
damages people, destroys teamwork and trust, negatively impacts organizational
effectiveness, contributes to violence and can leave an organization open to
costly compensation claims. This subtle and status-blind form of
harassment puts everyone at risk. Awareness is the key to prevention.
Gail is co-author of the book “Mobbing:
Emotional Abuse In the American Workplace,” the first book addressing this
subject to appear in the United States.
The Power of Dignity and Respect:Insight - Awareness - Personal Power. Most
people agree that they want to be treated with dignity and respect.When asked to define these terms, however, the answers may be very
diverse. Dignity and Respect is a process that has to start within each of us.
It begins with the way we communicate with ourselves, label ourselves, and see
ourselves. This becomes our reality.
Our own sense of this reality becomes the basis of how we treat others.We have the power to make each day joyous or miserable. We have the power
to do that for others too. This session builds self esteem and personal dignity.Think you can't change the world? You already have!Learn why treating others with dignity and respect benefits us.

your staff. Learn simple strategies for ongoing, meaningful recognition that
will help you get the maximum benefit from your incentive and rewards program.Includes the basic steps for setting up a new program and/or evaluating
