According to the USA Weekend statistics show that one in six adults experiences bullying at work.Workplace bullying is not necessarily illegal and may not even be against a company's regulations but experts say the damage to workplace morale is clear.

Here are some tips to battle the problem of on-the-job bullying:

  • Recognize the problem. Understand that you don't have to put up with the abuse just because you're an employee.
  • Keep records. Keep a log and make copies of threatening e-mail so you can prove your case.
  • Report the problem to a manager. Find someone higher up who doesn't know the bully well and can be objective.
  • Don't rely on HR to help. Most companies don't have bullying policies and may side with the boss.
