Publication of 'Bullying in the Workplace: Survey Reports, 2007' – Apr '07

In its 2005 report, the Expert Advisory Group on Workplace Bullying recommended that an up-to-date survey on bullying in Ireland should be conducted. As a result, the ESRI carried out two national surveys on behalf of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, and these were published in recent weeks. One of the surveys involved surveying both employees and the self-employed on the subject of workplace bullying. The second surveyed employers in the public and private sectors on workplace bullying. The results of these surveys are wide-ranging, and include measurement of the incidence and nature of bullying in the workplace. These surveys will underpin future Government action on the matter.

The full report is available from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment website (www.entemp.ie).
