Protection of Personal Integrity

Violation of personal integrity

Wherever different people encounter each other as closely as they do in the workplace, conflicts cannot be avoided. Disagreements can occur whenever different needs and expectations clash. Unsolved problems can result in breaches of personal integrity and cause long-term damage to interpersonal relationships. Breaches of personal integrity refer to external attacks on the whole person. They are behaviours that violate boundaries and damage self-worth (Seco definition, 2016). Dealing with such disagreements in the workplace is the key to protecting personal integrity.

Employers have a legal obligation to provide the required measures to protect personal integrity in the workplace. This legal duty of care includes prevention within the company and support of victims when problems occur. Check how well your company is prepared for the prevention and handling of specific incidents. The SECO-checklist is available at: «Checkliste – Schutz der persönlichen Integrität am Arbeitsplatz».
