Reasonable management action
taken in a reasonable way
There
are times where persons conducting a business or undertaking may take
reasonable management action to effectively direct and control the way work is
carried out. It is
reasonable for managers
and supervisors to
allocate work and to
give fair and reasonable feedback on a
worker’s performance. These actions are
usually not considered to be bullying if they are carried out in a reasonable
manner, taking the particular circumstances into account.
Examples of reasonable management action include:
- Setting reasonable performance goals, standards
and deadlines
- Implementing organisational changes or
restructuring
