Bullying behaviour at work is regrettably common. It is not, however, a matter about which you can bring an employment tribunal claim in and of itself; in order for you to be able to bring a claim the bullying would need to be on a prohibited ground such as race, sex, disability, religion or sexual orientation and would be brought by way of a discrimination claim.
If you feel bullied at work there are a number of practical things that you are advised to do:
- Tell the person firmly but not aggressively that they should stop the behaviour as you feel uncomfortable. If you cannot face the individual yourself, speak to someone in HR and ask them to intercede on your behalf.
- If things do not improve you should raise a formal grievance, in writing and with specific details.
- Keep a full diary of all incidents - detailing dates, times, what occurred and whether there were any witnesses and keep copies of all relevant documentation.
