Case Study: This Bullying Has Got to Stop!
Read the following Case study and using your notes, common sense, real world experience and any online material you wish, develop in-depth answers.
Sari works in a large mining operation in Saskatchewan. She has been with the company for a number of years and is currently a heavy equipment operator.
As the mining business continued to grow, and as the workforce became more diverse, senior leaders in the company also determined it was important to ensure that the workplace did not engage the discrimination or harassment. Training was initially done with everyone, and then the company also created ongoing discussion groups with the managers to talk about discrimination and harassment and reinforce the role play.
Shortly after the initial training for all employees, Sari approached someone in HR to report that her boss (a man) had bullied her on several occasions. An investigation was undertaken to determine what had occurred, what had been said, and what the manager had to say. Part of the investigation included conversations with Sari's coworkers to see if they had experienced any bullying.
The investigation determined that the manager had met with Sari on several occasions to talk about her work performance and the way in which she operated the equipment. He had expressed concern that she was driving the equipment in an unsafe manner and that if it continued, he would have to discipline her. Sari did not agree with him and indicated that she was only doing what all the other heavy equipment operators did. He told her that he did not supervise the others, that he supervised her, and that she was working in an unsafe manner. He also reminded her that bragging about doing "wheelies" with the equipment was not appropriate behaviour again and concluded the meeting. The investigation determined that coworkers drove equipment unsafely and that Sari's manager only spoke with her about her driving, whereas the other managers ignored what was going on. Furthermore, the investigation determined that Sari's manager was very firm in his view about safety.
Answer the following question briefly:
1. Is there anything else that should be part of the investigation?
2. If you were the manager, what would do now?
