Workplace bullying is becoming increasingly prevalent. Research examining intimate partner violence (IPV) and workplace bullying (WB) victims/targets demonstrates that targets of these two behaviours often share common abusive experiences. The Power Control Wheel was initially designed to help IPV victims/survivors identify patterns of abuse and intervene with male batterers/instigators. This project has adapted elements of the Power Control Wheel to assist individuals to identify and describe personal experiences with bullying behaviours in the workplace.

To learn more about how this wheel can be used to help victims name the tactics that their targets use, Dr. Hannah Scott explains the components of the wheel in this “Beyond the Walls” talk, in partnership with Oshawa Public Libraries.
