Or lack of it :-). Well, this is a bigger problem than you might think—jerks and bullies in the workplace. Research shows that they not only hinder retention (and recruiting) but also raise levels of client churn, damage reputations, and diminish the confidence of the work-public.

Companies that harbor jerks may also suffer from reduced levels of creativity and innovation, as well as impaired or dysfunctional cooperation, within and outside the organization. That is no small matter in an increasingly networked world.

Companies should take specific and interrelated steps to root out jerks and bullies and build a more civilized workplace. But then again many of these companies are run by jerks and bullies, so there!
