🔎 Investigative Insights: Workplace Bullying – Early Warning Signs (22 Jan 2026)
Workplace bullying doesn’t always start with shouting or obvious abuse — it often begins with subtle behaviours that, if left unchecked, can escalate into serious harm. Recognising early warning signs is essential for protecting staff wellbeing and organisational integrity.
⚠️ Early Warning Signs
Repeated exclusion from meetings or social interactions
Excessive or unfair criticism compared to peers
Spreading of rumours or undermining comments
Deliberate withholding of resources or information
Sudden changes in an employee’s confidence, attendance, or productivity
