Creating a positive and helpful work environment, one where all employees feel welcome and supported should be a priority in every organization. Whatever your industry, you can enhance morale, retention, productivity and more by preventing abuse and harassment from infiltrating your company culture. This extends to verbal abuse — harmful spoken conduct that doesn’t have a physical side.
At first glance, verbal abuse may be harder to identify or prioritize than physical assault, but this kind of abusive conduct is worth preventing with specific, targeted programs. If left unchecked, verbal harassment can create a hostile work environment harming mental health and motivation, and each employer should make sure there are significant protections in place for workers.
