Intimidating staff
28-May-2020 00:30
When using the informal process to resolve the conflict, the University Staff member should be prepared to identify precisely the pattern or acts of conduct believed to constitute the violation.This should be a record (of what was said, in what context and who witnessed the event, etc.) that the University Staff member has compiled during the time of the intimidating behavior.If there is a conflict with the department chair/unit head, the complainant may file with the divisional human resources representative.If upon investigation of the complaint, discipline or dismissal is appropriate, the divisional human resources representative, in conjunction with the employee’s supervisor, may initiate the disciplinary or dismissal process.I will never forget how round my coworker’s eyes became when our Director relayed the information to us.We were told at the end of June, the facility would be opening up mid-September – we would have less than three months to completely credential enough new applicants/providers to fully staff a fully functioning new hospital.Please note that if the result of the informal process is not viewed as favorable to the employee, the employee may move forward to the formal process.A University Staff employee may file a complaint with the department chair or unit head.
I didn’t ask for case lists – let alone know how to read them and interpret that there were enough cases for specific privileges.This definition of hostile and/or intimidating behavior is not intended to impede academic freedom or violate rights to free expression.However, these freedoms come with a responsibility that all members of our university community have a right to work in an environment free from intimidation, exploitation, coercion, violence, aggression, harassment, and/or bullying.Cow implies bringing out an abject state of timorousness and often demoralization: a dog that was cowed by abuse.
To bully is to intimidate through blustering, domineering, or threatening behavior: workers who were bullied into accepting a poor contract.Corrective action, dismissal or other remedial action as deemed appropriate can be imposed on faculty, staff, students, administrators or external/non campus members for violation of campus policies, including, but not limited to: University Staff Policies and Procedures, Faculty Policies and Procedures, Academic Staff Policy and Procedures, and University Staff Employee Work Rules in compliance with the requirements of the University Staff Corrective Action Policy.
