Workplace bullying is when a person or people in a workplace treat another worker unfairly. It can use many different tactics including abuse and humiliation, often in very cunning ways, often using the rules and traditions of the workplace to conceal their bullying.
Most countries and states now have laws about safe workplaces, which include being safe physically and psychologically for the workers, so people being bullied are now able to stand up for their rights by going to management and even to the police and to the courts of the country.
The Law Society of New South Wales, Australia has offered the following definition of bullying:
Unreasonable and inappropriate workplace behaviour includes bullying, which comprises behaviour which intimidates, offends, degrades, insults or humiliates an employee possibly in front of co-workers, clients or customers and which includes physical or psychological behaviour.
The goal of the Workplace Bullying Institute is the reduction of bullying people who are found in the workplace. You will be able to view their ideas on their official website.

it occurs often
Usually an "anti-bullying policy" means that a school or workplace will not tolerate any form of bullying or harassment. If you are caught participating in these types of actions, usually disciplinary actions are taken (i.e. suspension)
If it occurs in the workplace it's just like harassment which is an OHS issue.
Bullying is a form of harassment, but it is not necessarily the same. Bullying consists of repeated acts of aggression, while harassment is usually a one-time event. Bullying can take many forms, such as physical, verbal, and emotional, while harassment is typically focused on one type of behavior. It is better to raise your voice against this kind of behavior in the workplace. If you faced any kind of bullying or harassment in the workplace you must need to stand against your harasser and complaint him/her to your HR department so that he/she did not do this kind of behavior with you or anyone in the workplace. Lastly, you can also take help from employment lawyers like Cummings & Franck, P.C. a professional employment lawyer in California to provide you with all legal help to fight against your harasser.
