What is workplace bullying?

"repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons (the targets) by one or more perpetrators: abusive conduct that takes one or more of the following forms:
Verbal abuse, or threatening, intimidating or humiliating behaviors (including nonverbal), or work interference – sabotage – which prevents work from getting done, or some combination of one or more."

That is what research states. Real people define it as hurtful, unwanted, and alienating. What do you say about it?

Let's work to end it!

Are you contemplating a career in a fast growing business management specialty...managing humans? I am the local source for networking, as I serve as the ASHRM College Relations board member for the southcentral area of Alaska. Plus, I can connect you with more local reps in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington State through my connections on the NHRMA - Northwest Human Resource Management Association Board.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that HR Management is growing faster than average for all occupations. And HR isn't your grandparents' Personnel Office anymore. Like Project Management? Law? Accounting? Mental health? Data and Analytics? Risk and Safety? Organizational development? Training? Negotiation? The breadth of specialties in HR might just amaze you (and so can the salaries!) Contact me (please, no sales or other pitches).😊

Housing and meals are just not enough...

Streets to Success is a one-year residential program for thirty participants per year, based on a well-researched model of care called Therapeutic Community. Participants receive support and guidance from experts with lived experience - mentors who have overcome homelessness, substance abuse, and incarceration in their own lives.

To support positive outcomes in the lives of program participants, Bean's maintains important community partnerships with education specialists and ‘second chance employers’ who hire qualified applicants without regard to histories of felony convictions. And with us, people who care for our community.

Effectiveness of the Streets to Success program based on the personal successes of program participants. Criteria for their success include:

• Life skills development and educational attainment
• Employment
• Transition to permanent housing
• Freedom from substance abuse
• Lack of recidivism
• Self-sufficiency
• Community contributions

When compared to others who receive housing alone, people receiving comprehensive services in peer-led community settings demonstrate higher levels of resiliency and positive lifestyle changes.

Would you give $25+ dollars? You can donate any amount directly to Beans Cafe https://beanscafe.org/give-help/ (choose Streets to Success under "Campaign")

So.... do I have 60 friends willing to chip in for a collective effort?
