This insightful book examines contemporary workplace laws which focus on the importance of fair treatment and the reduction of bullying, harassment, and discrimination. With many traditional notions of work being challenged over recent years, Ellen Pinkos Cobb outlines the impact of unspoken expectations, cultures, and climates on the reporting, or not reporting, of abusive conduct.

Chapters analyze how, despite improved employee protection laws, new methods of workplace abuse have developed, stemming from increased remote work and use of digital platforms. Cobb also assesses how the criteria for abusive behavior has widened to include external events such as office gatherings, work trips, and conferences. The book examines the global shift to address and prevent workplace bullying, sexual harassment, and discrimination. It explores the evolution of the new world of work, bringing conversations on stress, mental health, and respectful treatment to the forefront of employment relations.

The Global Evolution of Bullying, Harassment, and Discrimination Laws: Respect at Work is an essential resource for scholars and students of business, human resource management, and employment law. Human resource practitioners and business leaders will also benefit from its evidence-based approach and actionable recommendations.
