Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to discuss the issue of appointing trusted persons within an organization as part of the employer’s obligation to prevent workplace mobbing. A trusted person plays a particular role in the organization, as their competencies encompass psychological, legal, and managerial aspects. In the absence of a statutory definition of a trusted person and specific regulations governing their activity, it becomes especially important to clarify the scope of their competencies and the skills they should possess. Trusted persons play a significant role in building psychological safety and ensuring effective anti-mobbing prevention.
