Impacts

Employee and employer awareness of workplace bullying, and its many manifestations goes a long way to mitigating the prevalence and effects of such actions. Along with the toll on human suffering is the material cost to U.S. healthcare.  About 20% of the total GDP of the US goes into the healthcare sector, calculated to be around $3 trillion.  Workplace bullying, as a contributor to healthcare disparities, known to be preventable, accounts for 10% of these expenditures, or $300 billion.
