What can you do yourself?

Intimidation in the workplace usually does not stop on its own. If you have become a victim of intimidation, it often takes a lot of courage to take action yourself. You may choose to start a conversation yourself, but you can also seek help from your manager or colleagues.

Keep in mind that the goal of the conversation should be to stop the unwanted behaviour. Your employer is obliged to create a safe working environment for employees. Some forms of intimidation are punishable by law. If a case of intimidation is serious, an employer may give an employee an official warning or even dismiss them.
