Bullying & harassment : challenging the status quo
The recent CERA case has raised the issue of appropriate behaviour in the workplace. I’m not going to comment on that issue; I don’t have the details and haven’t seen the report. However, the reporting around it highlighted the differences in interpretation of the same behaviour. What one would find offensive another staffer saw as ‘a bit of fun’. This flags up the question of the difference between intent and third party perception; It is not about the intent of the person making the jokes or comments, it’s about how it is received and perceived by others that matters. This difference in interpretation sometimes makes it difficult for people to understand the line between appropriate and inappropriate conduct. Everybody is different and what one person might brush off as harmless fun may have a detrimental effect on another person.

In an earlier blog post I talked about how a focus on workplace culture drives double digit business growth. Given a focus on strategy v. culture, I've heard it said that 'culture eats strategy for breakfast".
