Quick facts

  • Workplace violence costs emotionally and financially in family life and lost work time. The poll shows, for example, that 8% of the employees enduring malicious gossip at work in the past two years have lost time from work as a result. And 9% of the employees who suffered an assault have required treatment or counseling as a result of the incident.
