Creating a safe, mobbing-free work environment is not just a social responsibility but a legal requirement under Polish labour law. Raczkowski advises organisations on practical, effective anti-mobbing mechanisms that go beyond formal compliance. Real preventive measures build trust, stable teams, and reduce labour disputes.

Key effective measures include:

• Clear anti-mobbing provisions in work regulations.

• Tailored internal anti-mobbing policies, not generic templates.

• Regular training for employees and managers to build awareness and responsiveness.

• Establishing an anti-mobbing team that both reacts and proactively monitors workplace culture.

• Transparent, secure reporting channels for mobbing incidents.

Best practices highlight the importance of:

• Monitoring team behaviour daily, reacting to tensions early.

• Watching employee turnover as a potential warning sign.

• Zero tolerance for gossip or offensive comments.

• Ensuring inclusion, equal treatment, and professionalism in communication.

• Taking a responsible, fair approach from recruitment onwards.

• Acting swiftly on any irregularities rather than ignoring them.

Counteracting mobbing is a complex process requiring not just policies, but also training, practical experience, and proactive conflict resolution to truly protect employees and organisations.
