Pauline Rennie Peyton is an integrative psychotherapist and a chartered psychologist. Since presenting her first paper on 'Bullying at Work' in 1995, she has built a reputation as a pre-eminent expert in this field. As a consultant to organisations large and small, she assists in policy writing and implementation, training, investigating, mediating and counselling the victims and perpetrators of bullying.
Not only does Rennie Peyton present the difficulties of bullying in
work place settings, she goes one step further and offers solutions
as to how to support people and work with this issue. The book
title Dignity at Work encourages the reader to look creatively at
ways in which the counsellor or psychotherapist can work to create
a positive working environment within the area of bullying.
Although aimed at counsellors and psychotherapists, I do believe
that people who work in Human Resources and other such departments
will be most grateful for this book. I highly recommend it for all
who have experienced bullying in their work setting. - Terri Spy,
Counselling Psychologist and BACP Fellow
The book locates bullying as a key strategic issue for
organisations in tackling change. It offers a comprehensive,
accessible, strategic and practical approach to eradicating
bullying in the workplace. It makes the links between organisation
culture and values, management styles, strategic leadership and day
to day workplace culture, values and behaviour. It takes the reader
on a journey from knowledge and information about bullying, the
business case, its detrimental impact on the business, issues for
organisations in producing and implementing a Dignity at Work
policy, dealing with complaints of bullying in a way which is fair
to all, and mopping up the aftershock of any incidence of bullying.

The book is well structured and easy to read, with the right
balance of theories, definitions and practical advice ... this book
would be equally useful for everyone in organizations, including
those experiencing bullying or harassment, to learn to spot the
behaviours and characteristics of bullies so that they are alert to
these. It is an excellent example of how theory and commonsense can
be used to help those involved in organizational life in a
constructive and informed manner. - Wai-yin Hattonin in
Organization Studies, July 2004'I would consider this book
essential reading for those working as staff counsellors, in-house
counsellors and those in EAP's for use as a handbook for policies
and procedures which organisations are currently required by law to
have in place... I would see this as a valuable resource.' - Mary
Berry, Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal, March 2005'Anyone who
wishes to take bullying at work seriously ought to have this book
on their shelf.' - Leadership & Organization Development
Journal'Dignity at work is a unique text in offering rather more
than a "how to combat bullying" formula ... anyone who wishes to
take bullying at work seriously ought to have this book on their
shelf.' - Leadership & Organizational Development Journal
