- Subject of the issue - When we deal with workplace mobbing
Mobbing can take many forms. It is worth remembering, however, that the duty of the employer is to counteract all activities bearing its hallmarks, because he is responsible not only for active abuse of employees, but also for non-compliance with the obligation to counteract the occurrence of mobbing behavior of other people. It is important, however, that not every behavior that is distressing to an employee can be considered bullying. Only the occurrence of certain premises raises responsibility for mobbing activities.

And yet, not everyone is convinced of this form of performing employee duties, being convinced that in this arrangement the employer is not able to supervise his employee. Nothing could be more wrong. Despite the fact that telework is inevitably associated with weaker supervision, the employer has both the right and obligation to control how the teleworker is organized and performed - especially in the context of technical safety.
