I was on top of the world!

study on workplace culture Apr 07, 2019

I was on top of the world!

After all the time spent planning our strategy for the project we were making progress. We had our budget signed off and agreed by senior management. The team was well balanced and we were ready to roll! I was feeling on top of the world! 

Nothing more rewarding than feeling like we were actually making progress and with ease, like all the cogs were turning and we were moving in the same direction! yes! 

I knew the culture of my work environment was the key to the success of the business going forward. As a team we were functioning well, we all had specific roles we were responsible for and it just worked!

Not only that our lines of communication were open and there was nothing standing in the way of our delivery. My open door policy ensured this. Yes, we had faced and I had no doubt would still face challenges along the way but I knew we would pull together as a team when needed and solve any problems that arose. The glue that held us together was pliable and strong. 

If your workplace culture doesn't function and you have been subjected to a difficult environment that has held you back, with difficult relationships that have affected your ability to deliver. 

Then I would love to hear more about your experiences and would like to invite you to complete my survey or message me with more details about your story.

INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN MY STUDY ON WORKPLACE CULTURE

I need your support, please. I am conducting a study for my book, Roar! How to tame the bully, and I would be very grateful if you would participate in my study.

In my eBook, you will have read about my own experience with workplace bullying and its toll on my relationships and my health (mentally and physically). That is why I am determined to help others recognise the signs of workplace bullying early on and to take action before it is too late.

If you have worked in a situation where you have been the Witness or Target of:

1. behaviour that is intentionally negative and malicious, whether physical or emotional, from one or more persons,
2. negative behaviour that is consistently aggressive and persistent, and
3. behaviour that is driven by another person’s desire to obtain control.

Then I would like to invite you to participate in this study.

This survey is being sent to individuals working in organisations across all industries worldwide. Your participation will help assure that the results generated present an accurate reflection of the prevalence of bullying behaviour in workplace cultures today.

The survey is anonymous and treated in the strictest confidence. You may refuse to answer any question or quit the survey at any time. It will take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete.

I’d love to get industry and country-specific analysis too, so the more responses I get, the better, so please feel free to send this link to your colleagues.

Thank you in advance,

Marilise de Villiers

PS: Although there may be no direct benefit to the participant, there are possible benefits to organisations and society as a whole. Leaders, managers, and human resource personnel may learn techniques for identifying, investigating, and managing workplace bullying. Potential benefits to employees would include improved mental, physical and emotional well-being. Raising awareness of workplace bullying could potentially benefit leaders and organisations by increasing employee engagement and productivity.
