Milé Komlen shares the knowledge he gained from working with large employers on workplace harassment, and the effect of harassment on employees’ mental health. Milé’s research shows that harassment’s impacts are similar to the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder or battered spouse syndrome. The enacting of Bill 168 in Ontario has prompted employers to more closely examine the impact of harassment on employee mental health and productivity. Milé also discusses this development, and the potential legal repercussions for employers who don’t address these issues.
