HomeMy WebLinkAboutPrsntatn - Freedom From Wrkplc Bullies WkWhereas, the City of Palm Desert has an interest in promoting the
social and economic well-being of its citizens, employees and employers.
That well-being depends upon the existence of healthy and productive
employees working in safe and abuse -free environments; and
Whereas, research has documented the stress -related health
consequences for individuals caused by exposure to abusive work
environments; and
Whereas, abusive work environments are costly for employers, with
consequences that include reduced productivity, absenteeism, turnover,
employee health -related expenses, and if left unchecked, costly litigation; and
Whereas, protection from abusive work environments should apply to
every worker and not be limited to legally protected class status based only on
race, color, gender, national origin, age, or disability.
Now, Therefore, I, Van G. Tanner, Mayor of the City of Palm
Desert, California, Along With the Entire City Council, Do Hereby Proclaim the
week of October 19-25, 2014, as

awareness of the issues caused by workplace bullies in order to help prevent
this in our City's workplaces.

and have caused the Official Seal of the City of Palm
