SISFI Healthy Workplace & Workplace Abuse/Violence Awareness

SISFI launches new series “Healthy Workplace & Workplace Abuse/Violence Awareness” on SISFI Radio to bring more focus, attention, awareness to the issues.

Workplace Abuse/Violence is a very serious and sometimes hidden threat that affects people on physical and mental levels. It manifests into social and mental health impacts that are sometimes not seen until something very serious happens to the victim which by them is sometimes too late. Unfair treatment and practices of employers, management and co-workers makes the workplace a very stressful, depressing and uncomfortable place to be but because of the needs to provide for family, take care of bills, put food on the table and just to live people try to endure the abuse out of fear of being terminated/fired.

Many people are not familiar with the terms of Workplace Bullying, Workplace Abuse and Workplace Violence even when they themselves are going through it and being impacted by the signs and symptoms. Our society doesn’t do enough to educate and make aware of the issues until something happens on a major level that brings media attention. Unfortunately, the lives, wellbeing and many are hanging in the balance as they continue to suffer from the impacts of these issues without any solution to addressing them.
