The Bullying and Respect at Work Bill, proposed by U.K. MP Rachel Maskell, seeks to provide a legal definition of workplace bullying and introduce mandatory mechanisms for reporting and handling such issues within businesses while also allowing employment tribunals to hear such claims. The bill has sparked debate among legal experts and HR professionals, with some concerned about the need for careful implementation and integration with existing rules under the Equality Act and whether it will effectively curb workplace bullying. |
