Workplace exclusion is one of the most damaging and hardest to root out threats to any companys profits.

What is exclusion at work. Exclusion from work is used only as an interim measure whilst action to resolve a problem is being considered. The sensation is akin to physical pain. This can be up to but no more than four weeks at a time except in exceptional circumstances.

It is widely recognised that bullying can corrode organizations and wreck individual lives. Intentionally excluding someone or making them feel socially or physically isolated from a group. Employees experience exclusion when they feel dismissed are interrupted arent welcomed into a companys culture or experience a lack of respect or perceived value.

Exclusion is most often accidental but it may not feel that way to the remote workers who are missing out on meetings and other events. The rate of pay for exclusion pay is an employees regular rate of pay for the pay period in which the employee is excluded. Constantly justifying or defending behavior or making excuses for acting in a particular manner.

As a sin of omission ostracism is an act that someone didnt do. These employees are entitled to exclusion pay depending on the length of the required exclusion period and how many days they were scheduled to work during that exclusion period. So heres a new way to look at exclusion in the workplace.

To feel left out is a deeply human problem. Purposefully excluding someone from decisions conversations and work-related events. Bullying can be extremely subtle so dealing with it effectively begins with an understanding of whether the behavior in question is genuinely out of bounds or just a product of a co-workers bad day.

But as weve learnt when its social its cultural. Look for signs that the exclusion is a form of bullying and seek help if it is. Where an individual is excluded it is for the minimum necessary period of time.
