SHEDDING LIGHT ON THE PROBLEM OF WORKPLACE VIOLENCE AND HARASSMENT


With the aim of shedding light on the phenomena of violence and harassment for the benefit of society at large, employees and their families, as well as companies and organizations, MRK Consulting in collaboration with Kapa Research in Greece carried out the First Panhellenic Survey of 850 members of the active population, including private and public sector workers, private persons, professionals and unemployed. We share the results of this survey so that they can be a catalyst towards the creation of policies designed to deal with violence and harassment in the workplace and mobbing, in state and privare companies and organizations.
