To make Workplace Bullying a criminal offence in line with other forms of abuse.
Bullying in the workplace is estimated to cost industry three or four billion pounds per year while five billion people currently believe that they are being bullied at work. The Bill aims to remedy this by promoting fairness in the workplace.
The aim of the Dignity at Work Bill is to counteract bullying at work and to enshrine good practice into law. The main objective is to prevent bullying, but if it does take place, then the Bill provides redress.
The Bill states that all employees 'shall have a right to dignity at work'.
