Trouble at work, travellers vs tourists
Laurie Taylor hears about groundbreaking research into bullying, harassment and stress at work. Also, travellers versus tourists.
Trouble at work: Laurie Taylor considers the findings of the largest UK study on ill treatment in the workplace ever undertaken. He's joined by the researchers, Ralph Fevre and Amanda Robinson, who claim that organisations which are well versed in modern management practices may create a culture in which bullying, harassment and stress thrive. Also, travellers versus tourists - Lara Week's research questions whether or not those seeking 'authentic culture' provide more to foreign countries than those who stick to the 'tourist trail'
Producer: Jayne Egerton.
