At McElhinney & Associates Solicitors, we recently took on the case of a client who endured distressing workplace harassment and discrimination.
Our client faced a hostile work environment characterised by bullying, sexual harassment, and victimisation orchestrated by their manager. Verbal abuse, exclusion, and inappropriate text messages were among the forms of harassment endured. Additionally, humiliating comments made about our client in the presence of other staff members exacerbated the distress.
Regrettably, our client felt compelled to resign due to the intolerable harassment and discrimination they experienced. The psychological toll of the workplace bullying was profound, resulting in a documented psychological injury assessed by an expert Consultant Psychiatrist.
In seeking justice for our client, we facilitated mediation which led to a substantial settlement. Importantly, this resolution was achieved without the need for a public hearing, safeguarding our client’s privacy.
If you find yourself a victim of workplace harassment or discrimination, know that you don’t have to face it alone.
