Creating Tranquil Workplaces™
A program for leaders and organisations navigating complex people risk
Upward bullying is not a personality issue.
It is an organisational risk.
Most organisations don’t recognise it until:
-
leaders exit
-
complaints escalate
-
psychological injury claims appear
-
or culture quietly deteriorates
Creating Tranquil Workplaces™ is an education and capability program designed to help organisations see, understand, and respond earlier, before harm becomes systemic or legally consequential.
In 2025 we surveyed over 450 global CEOs, Executives, Board Members and Senior Leaders.
