El acoso laboral como riesgo psicosocial

Abstract

The creation of Law 1010 of 2006, aimed to correct and sanction the various forms of aggression, abuse, old age, inconsiderate and offensive treatment and in general all outrage at the human dignity that is deployed on those who carry out an activity in the context or a private or public employment relationship known as workplace harassment. (Law 1010 of 2006, Article 1) In recent years and increasingly, certain situations have emerged that arise in the working environment, where workers have been affected by being victims of these scenarios. These situations originate from interpersonal relationships and organizational conditions. Workplace harassment is a very powerful social trigger, in which a person or group of people engages in behaviors characterized by psychological, systematic violence for an extended time over another person in the workplace, where it encompasses different situations of human reality. Employees file complaints which are dismissed for lack of evidence and the employee even risks being fired. It is an issue to which companies evade by not facing their realities, in addition there is no proven practice of how to handle these situations, this work aims to address the effectiveness of cohabitation committees in companies when they are confronted to a topic of workplace harassment and propose another form of settlement of the conflict more equitable and fair to the victim.
