Corporate Bullying in South Africa: When the Workplace Becomes a Toxic Environment | Lwandile Hasheni

Loading player...
For many South Africans, the workplace is a significant part of everyday life — but what happens when that environment becomes a source of fear, stress and emotional distress?

Corporate bullying can take many forms, including verbal abuse, victimisation, isolation, passive-aggressive behaviour, harassment and cyberbullying. The impact can affect employees’ confidence, wellbeing, productivity and overall experience at work.

In this episode, we speak to Lwandile Hasheni, Executive Chairman of the South African Institute of Employee Relations Professionals (SAIERP), about the realities of corporate bullying, why it happens, how employees can recognise it, and what organisations can do to create healthier workplaces.

We also unpack SAIERP’s Corporate Bullying Hotline and the importance of giving employees a platform to seek support and address workplace bullying.

When does workplace conflict become bullying — and what can employees do about it?
