National Workplace Bullying Coalition

The National Workplace Bullying Coalition (NWBC) is a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating workplace bullying across all fifty states. The organization focuses on detecting, preventing, and eradicating acts of workplace bullying through research, education, advocacy, and legislative efforts.

Mission and Vision

The NWBC's mission is to establish a future where all workers can enjoy a workplace free from bullying, with employers taking proactive steps to prevent and eliminate such behavior. The coalition envisions a workplace where bullying is recognized as an unlawful act, and all workers are assured dignity and respect.

Objectives

To achieve its goals, the NWBC partners with organizations to provide resources, training, and support to employees affected by workplace bullying. The coalition also works towards ensuring that workers' rights to safety, dignity, and fair treatment are recognized and protected in all workplaces.

Activities and Achievements

Over the past decade, the NWBC has engaged in various activities, including organizing conferences, producing documentaries, and lobbying legislators. Significant accomplishments include receiving resolutions and proclamations from state and national bodies supporting their efforts, as well as participating in state-level initiatives to develop anti-bullying policies.

Advocacy and Awareness

The NWBC contributes to awareness campaigns, such as the "Take the Pledge" initiative during Bullying Awareness Month, to encourage respectful workplace interactions. The organization also supports legislative actions like the Healthy Workplace Bill, aiming to create a national standard for addressing workplace bullying.

Workplace Bill of Rights

The NWBC promotes a Workplace Bill of Rights, which includes rights to safety, respect, fair treatment, a living wage, and opportunities for growth and self-actualization. This framework emphasizes the importance of creating an environment where workers feel valued, supported, and empowered to contribute meaningfully to their organizations.
