Abstract
If we are to design, implement, and sustain workplaces that diminish and
ultimately eliminate bullying we must have a clear, coherent, theoretically based and testable method for doing so. As has been illustrated in
this book and well-described in the existing literature, bullying in the
workplace is the result of complex and interactive individual, dyadic,
group, organisational and societal factors (Hoel & Cooper, 2001; Tehrani,
2001; Einarsen et al ., 2011). The ideas described in this chapter have
their genesis in the bullying that occurs between children and adults. We
often learn about universal applications of theory by building systems
that are responsive to those who have the most severe impairments. So it
is in this case. We have learned about building workplace cultures of
respect through learning about building those cultures for people who
have been bullied the most, some of whom have become bullies themselves. Beginning in the 1980s my colleagues and I began what has
become a long journey of over 30 years discovering how to be most
helpful to traumatised and injured children and adults. Our approach has
evolved into a model of organisational development that is now known
as the Sanctuary Model (Bloom, 1997, 2010; Bloom & Farragher, 2010).
In the following pages we will briefl y describe what we have learned.
