Przypominany, iż w dziale publikacje na stronie OMK można znaleźć informacje pomagające w stwierdzeniu czy sytuacja nękania lub zastraszania występuje na naszym statku. Szefowie działów, poziom zarządzania na statku powinni pilnować aby do takich sytuacji nie dochodziło.

Poziom zarządzania, kapitanowie powinni motywować załogę do pracy w pozytywny sposób.  W sytuacjach odwrotnych czyli zastraszania i złego zarządzania pojawia się stres, brak motywacji, redukcja wydajności w pracy, pomijanie obowiązków, rezygnacja. Tak więc nie zawsze jest winą pracownika, iż wyniki w pracy są poniżej oczekiwań. Taki rezultat może być wynikiem złej atmosfery na statku.

Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z publikacjami ITF, Międzynarodowej Izby Żeglugi (ICS) oraz Stowarzyszenia Armatorów Europejskich (ECSA).
