INAPPROPRIATE WORK PLACE BEHAVIORS

INAPPROPRIATE WORK PLACE BEHAVIORS

Workplace violence has emerged as an important

safety and health issue   in today's workplace. Its

most extreme form, homicide, is the second   leading

cause of fatal occupational injury and accounts for

11% of the   fatal work injuries in the United States.

YOUR WORK PERSONALITY AND BEHAVIORS

One argument that you may hear, is that if you try

to influence   the test results then you will have to

operate ‘outside’ of your   personality type for 40

hours a week. This is overstating the case   to the

point of absurdity; very few people would even

consider   applying for a job which was totally

unsuitable for them.

ABUSIVE, SEXUAL HARASSMENT ETC.

Higher level managers have been known to bad

mouth employees, sexually harass, be verbally

abusive and degrading, and threaten their

employees. Aggressive managers are threatened of

other employees rising through the ranks and have

been known to make comments regarding keeping

employees from advancing.

engineering company comprises seven women, 40

men, two employees with disabilities, two Spanish

employees, one Chinese employee, two Japanese

employees, one Indian employee, one Kenyan

employee and two US employees of Mexican origin,

as well as German employees.
