High 5 to @ProfTuckey@spmoulds & @MouldingNicole who have won a $418,950 @arc_gov_au Linkage grant to lead a national project tackling workplace sexual harassment. They will collaborate with @Griffith_Uni and @UQ_News to change the culture of many Australian organisations.
"We need to create the right environment where positive behaviours can occur," says @ProfTuckey.
"Looking at organisational risk factors gives us a chance minimise and eliminate the problem at the source: this is reflected in the new positive duty on organistions."
When addressing bullying, we need to find out why it's happening in an organisation:
"What kind of function is bullying serving in an organisation? Is it an expression of frustration? Is it about getting resources?"-@ProfTuckey at our webinar bullying as an organisational issue.
"Like bullying, the research shows that the strongest risk factors for #sexualharassment lie in the environemt rather than in people...
It's used to push people out of their roles based on features like gender" - @ProfTuckey speaking at a SAGE webinar
What can we start to do about bullying & harassment as organisational problems?
@ProfTuckey says:
"Ask how can these behaviours take root."
"Responses often focus on the behaviour itself: defining it, reporting, etc. But looking at the surface overlooks structural factors."
@ProfTuckey has spent 10 years identifying what the root causes or risk factors are for #bullying and #harassment in the workplace:
She found 10 risk factors falling under
- Working hours, leave and entitlements
- Management of workload & performance
- Relationships at work
Research with impact: A fascinating and helpful webinar today as @ProfTuckey presented on how organisations can proactively reduce workplace bullying and harassment by reducing psychosocial risks.

An integrated approach to mental health must recognise that working environments & conditions hold important risks to mental health, but also opportunities to boost mental health.
Build healthy organisational systems to support healthy workers. #healthybydesign
This may help some, but what when the organisation's management, work culture & structures are themselves the problem that's causing poor mental health ??
