Aggression on the workplace

aggression only moves in one direction – it creates more aggression

Description

It is very common for employees nowadays to be confronted with arrogant and/or aggressive behaviour which is very intimidating. The consequences of such aggressive conduct may result on the one hand in a lack of self-confidence of employees shown in higher absenteeism, lower self-esteem and demotivation, and on the other hand negative publicity for present and future clients. Aggressive behaviour needs prompt action because of these undesirable affects both in work and in private life.
