  • TALK2ME: Healthy Work Environment Assessment

  • This questionnaire is a key tool for both migrant workers and employers, including human resource professionals and managers, to assess practices, policies and actions put in place for a healthy work environment.


    It contains 28 items covering various aspects of workplace dynamics and interactions and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Completing this tool will not only help to better understand the challenges faced by migrant workers but will also pave the way for meaningful change in labour market culture.


    For migrant workers, this questionnaire is a platform to map your experiences and highlight any instances of mobbing or harassment you may have encountered. Your participation is crucial in raising awareness and advocating for your rights at work.


    For employers, including HR professionals and managers, this questionnaire provides insight into potential areas of concern and opportunities for improvement within your organisation. By identifying and addressing issues of bullying and harassment, you can promote a more inclusive and supportive working environment for ALL employees.


    Once you have completed this tool, you will receive via email guidance for continuing your efforts to implement positive change. This includes access to awareness campaign materials, dynamic learning programmes, and guidelines for promoting diversity and effectively managing cases of mobbing.
    Together, we can combat mobbing and promote a culture of diversity, inclusion and mutual respect.

    WHAT IS MOBBING?

    In English, the word "mobbing" is used to identify the attack on a large number of people, while the word "bullying" is used to define the treatment displayed in a despotic and intimidating manner. Leymann (1996) defines mobbing as "psychological tremor", which includes morally unacceptable behaviors, which are directed to a particular person in order to lead to a powerless and defenseless position. In another definition of mobbing, Zapf (1999) considers it a psychological form of aggression, which arises either between two individuals, or between a group and a person.

    Ways of expressing Mobbing( Sahin B.et al 2012)
     Behaviors that prohibit expression and communication about working relationships (constant negative criticism)
     Behaviors that offend social relationships (isolation)
     Behaviors that offend work practice/professional status (constantly new tasks, humiliating tasks, etc.)
     Behaviors that damage personal and professional reputation (false rumors, ridicule, mental destabilization)
