Workplace Bullying Grievance Response

Summary

If you are experiencing workplace bullying, its important to document all incidents, especially those witnessed by customers, and gather any supporting evidence or witness statements. Despite previous discussions with management, if the behavior continues, it may be necessary to request a further review of your grievance. Consulting an employment lawyer can provide guidance on how to proceed and protect your rights. Consider addressing the ongoing issues with management to seek a resolution.

However, after reviewing the documentation which Maxcare has collated as part of its investigation into the Grievance, it cannot find any evidence to support the allegations that you have outlined. Whilst it is acknowledged that Danica may have spoken to you in an authoritative manner on occasion, she is your line manager and is expected (as part of her role) to address any concerns that she observes in your performance in a timely manner. As you are aware, Maxcare has previously spoken with Danica to express the importance of ensuring that all staff feel respected and that perception can often differ from intention. Danica assured Maxcare that she had never intended to cause you offence and was saddened that you have perceived her comments as bullying.

Subject: Formal Response to Grievance Investigation
Dear [Recipient's Name],
I am writing to highlight the number of bullying incidents that occurred in front of customers. Despite the meeting where Maxcare emphasized the importance of respect among staff, Danica continued her bullying behavior towards me upon my return to work on 4th November *. This ongoing issue has severely impacted my wellbeing and ability to perform my duties effectively.
I request a further review of my grievance, taking into account the incidents that occurred in front of customers and the lack of change in Danica's behavior after the initial meeting.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
