Experiential learning activity to ameliorate workplace bullying

Abstract

This experiential learning exercise will help instructors develop an interactive lesson that provides training for future managers on how to identify, resolve, and eliminate bullying in the workplace. The exercise is broken into three components. First, the instructor will present an introduction to workplace bullying and the importance for managers. Second, the students will participate in activities to help identify workplace bullying, learn best practices for addressing bullying incidents, and explore how to prevent workplace bullying from occurring. Third, the class will conclude with a debriefing exercise. This exercise will train future managers about workplace bullying and allow them to become an effective resource for victims of workplace bullying.
