In this segment of her anti‑bullying presentation, Jessica Hickman explains how bullying should be defined in workplaces, schools and online. She stresses that bullying is characterized by repeated, intentional actions aimed at harming another person, and that single, isolated incidents do not usually meet this definition. Hickman addresses business leaders, parents and teachers, noting that misunderstandings arise when performance‑management issues or one‑off events are labeled as bullying. She calls for clear criteria—repetition, intent, and harmful impact—to distinguish true bullying from other conflicts.

Chapters

So while I talk on what is bullying in the workplace, schools, and online, it's important that I also talk around what isn't bullying. And this is a big topic that I discuss with business leaders because people say that often when they performance manage someone, as an example, um, that those people say that they've been bullied or harassed in the workplace. So it's establishing what is bullying and what isn't, and the same goes for parents Teachers I've been working with recently say that parents are quick to come in and say, "My son or daughter has been bullied because of a single incident that happened." So bullying is repeated and intentional with the intent to harm the other person. So often if there are single isolated incidents, it's not always classed as bullying. So we need to establish what is but also what isn't bullying.
