In his role as general manager, Robbie recently had to deal with a workplace bullying incident. To help ensure that he never has to deal with this issue in the future, which of the following actions could he take?A.He could carefully screen potential employees and managers for certain personality traits. B.He could respond to any recurring absenteeism with stern warnings.C.He could respond to the number of accidents an employee has with written warnings.D.He could try not to escalate any potential issue by ignoring any suspected bullying behaviour.

The best action Robbie could take to prevent future workplace bullying incidents would be option A: carefully screening potential employees and managers for certain personality traits. This could help identify individuals who may be prone to bullying behavior, allowing Robbie to either not hire them or to provide them with the necessary training to prevent such behavior.

Option B, responding to recurring absenteeism with stern warnings, may not be effective as absenteeism could be a result of many factors, not just bullying.

Option C, responding to the number of accidents an employee has with written warnings, also may not be effective as accidents can occur for a variety of reasons and may not be directly related to bullying.

Option D, trying not to escalate any potential issue by ignoring any suspected bullying behavior, is definitely not advisable. Ignoring bullying can actually exacerbate the problem and create a hostile work environment.

Therefore, the most effective strategy would be to proactively screen potential employees and managers for personality traits that could indicate a propensity for bullying.
