My line of work involves a lot of OH&S (occupational health and safety) regulations - my role involves taking care of moving cargo and people, which means I'm always around heavy equipment and vehicles. I have friends in similar situations and they would tell me accidents that happen in their workplace because they're not given ample time to prepare for the day before their supervisors come around to tell them to start working - and supervisors aren't reprimanded at all for this behavior.

I know that bullying at work has short-term and long-term consequences caused by acute stress and chronic stress. Immediate results include poor work performance, low morale, and depression. Long-term results include actual physical illness, mental illness, and behaviora/emotional changes.

What are the consequences of ignoring employees who come seek help? How does it affect the individual, the team, and me as a leader?

Bosses who dont care are accepting damage to enter their lives... this damage could cost them their jobs.
-> Poor/Weak   Management
-> Employees won't trust you with their problems or with anything really.
-> You will foster an environment of abuse and only employees who tolerate this behavior will stay while good employees will leave.
-> Work productivity/customer satisfaction will suffer.
-> Misery will follow you to any job you lead because YOU are the problem.
-> Employees will walk on eggshells around you; the weak leaders will fail  and the strong leaders will either try to make you better or try to take your job.
-> YOU CAN BE FIRED FOR FAILURE TO PROTECT YOUR EMPLOYEES. GOOD LUCK FINDING A LEADERSHIP JOB AFTER THAT.

I wonder what the best way is for HR departments to create and enact policies that prevent work-related accidents and illnesses (and protect employees when they do happen).

I learned that one of the best ways for HR departments to enforce policies to protect employees from work-related accidents and illnesses is to be aware of the full scope of occupational health and safety in the first place.

This week's module covers a lot of workplace health and safety factors that I have not previously considered. For example, I learned that stress management is under the scope of HR teams, as well as preventing cumulative trauma disorders that come with unhealthy working postures (such as wrongly postured backs, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, and so forth). Being aware of potential hazards that include chemical exposure as well as workplace violence/bullying are also under the scope of HR (Human Resources Management, 2016).

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that bullying in the workplace can affect anyone. We all know them or know about them, jerks and bullies at work who demean, criticize, and drain the energy of others. We even learned that there are certain professions that are more prone to it as well as certain shifts. For example, people who work nights are more prone to harassment and bullying. But, in the end is the managers and company's responsibility to provide the grounds for  a systemic approach of creating a culture that's positive and respectful while improving the bottom line.
Transforming the culture to support the strategy and mission of the company is the real skill of leadership. Whether it is in the form of outbursts, irrational demands, griping, and other disruptions bullying needs to be dealt with—and it’s your responsibility as a leader to do it.

Our Team Member Sir Gene Morell will be green. I posted this on Sir Gene's behalf because he is currently unable to reach out to us from wherever he is deployed.  The team hopes that he can get credit for this assignment to lighten his load when he does get back online.   Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
Sir Gene very likely knows that a supportive team can make or break you but unfortunately not all teams are made of rainbows and sunshine.  Being deployed is tough but maybe his awesome team around the world can be just as dependable as his military unit. He is probably under a lot of acute mental and physical stress right now but Group 6 has his back to lighten the load for one assignment.  Sir Gene probably experienced some for of bullying in his life and would insert an inspirational story if he could. #Merica #DropedMikeOnBehalfOfSirGene

# data[].attributes.body
Sir Gene would wonder when his internet service would come back. Then he would ask how he can use what he learned this week to bring positive leadership into the unit. Sir Gene would probably wonder if it is okay to use sarcasm and laughter as a good coping mechanism to boost morale.

# data[].attributes.body
He would have learned that some jobs are more prone to bullying. Bullying is most common in:
* Small units that work under high stress with little sleep
* When working Early/Late hours
* Bullying is most common when human interaction is necessary (such as in sales, admin, logistics)
* He would also say that work violence is most common in high crime areas

I wonder the physiological impact of bullying and how it affects performance at work.

# data[].attributes.body
What i can take away from this weeks learning is the impact of stress and how it impact all levels of work. It can be a result of bullying, or be caused by not feeling challenged within your working organization. Stress is the number on leader in health issues within a working environment and can lead to other life altering issues such as high blood presser, diabetes, or heart attacks.
