Coordinator to speak at workplace bullying conference

October is National Bullying Awareness Month, and on October 19 the National Workplace Bullying Coalition will host an online conference. http://www.workplacebullyingcoalition.org/ I have been invited to speak on the role of advocacy and legislation, and will give an update on the work of the Massachusetts Commission on Bullying and the impact of advocacy by the Stop Bullying Coalition.

Landlords and managers of residential developments may want to consider attending this innovative forum as a way to improve workplace relations. Their employees who enjoy a bully-free workplace are likely going to know how important it is to encourage a bully-free environment in the residential situations that they offer and oversee.
