"The informative business guide Workplace Bullying is powerful as it exposes a growing problem in workplaces; it illuminates means of preventing and dealing with bullying, too. Shelley Boulet’s helpful business book Workplace Bullying diagnoses, and recommends treatments for, “the pandemic within”: abusive behavior at work. This guidebook identifies types of workplace bullying, outlines the extent of the issue in the professional world, and provides guidance on how to maintain a supportive work environment where all are welcome. It itemizes actions, comments, and signs of harmful conduct that managers and colleagues are sometimes not aware constitutes abuse. It also relates the real human costs of harassment, including self-harm and suicide. Its broad, thematic sections make it useful as a reference, as does the concision of its subsections." - Foreword Clarion Review
