Workplace bullying is on the rise, and young professionals are feeling the brunt of it., which found a 13% increase in bullying since the start of the pandemic, while most other forms of workplace misconduct declined. Overall, about one-third of employees said they observed bullying, which was up from 20% before the pandemic.
That's particularly true with younger employees — many of which entered the workforce during the remote stages of the pandemic and weren't accustomed to the pre-pandemic workplace. Those employees, especially members of Gen Z, areEthisphere's report found Gen Z accounted for an outsized share of bullying claims, but was also the least likely to report them to management. About 39% of Gen Z said they did not report workplace bullying and misconduct, the highest among all age groups.
“One reason could be lack of exposure to the system. Yet, fear for one’s job is a powerful motivator to say or do nothing when colleagues are misbehaving, and directly undercuts a culture of ethics and accountability. And when we see how much more this is impacting Gen Z, the need to address younger employees on this front becomes clear,” the report noted.
