A topic very near and dear to the Legal Beagles hearts. Cal and Al return this week with a topic causing some stress for well-known brands – workplace bullying (aka exhibit one for Cal’s claim to the Fair Work Commission). But the topic of workplace bullying is no laughing matter. It can cause physical and psychological harm, and needs to be dealt with in a decisive manner. Join the #LegalBeagles on a discussion on what constitutes bullying and how to deal with it.
