Workplace bullying costs Australian business billions of dollars in costs, reduced productivity and personal injuries. Evelyn M. Field is an expert on bullying and its devastating effects on people and organizations. She has developed a unique approach to training senior management, team leaders, supervisors and staff about understanding and managing workplace bullying. Her approach is based upon respecting employees by changing dysfunctional work cultures, developing collaborative systems and reducing adversarial approaches. She employs her social and emotional resilience framework to empower employees to take greater responsibility for themselves by developing practical skills to block bullying behaviours and survive difficult, stressful workplaces.

Known as 'Collaborative Solutions', it is based upon validation, safety and creating more effective, ethical management systems. It combines training and staff interviews, to assist in restructuring and improving management systems, workplace culture and prevent future workplace bullying.
