Burying and perhaps building upon the management culture that places UCC right at the top as one of the most litigious universities in the Irish university Litigation League http://www.iol.ie/~stuartneilson/bullying/bullying_iesc...c.htm -

Accused Again - Joe Gantly, UCC Governor, member of UCC Audit Committee, staff member, private venture partner, shareholding beneficiary and chair of the Restructuring Steering Committee is accused of corporate governance issues in the High Court, Naujoks v National Institution of Bioprocessing Research and Training Limited: "In September of this year certain issues arose between the plaintiff, as CEO of the defendant, and the head of a research team employed by the defendant. It is the plaintiff’s case that these issues arose out of his commitment to ensure compliance with the best standards of corporate governance. The defendant attributes these issues to the plaintiff’s management style, which, it has been asserted, created difficulties in the workplace to the extent that the plaintiff ultimately lost the confidence of the Board of the defendant [Chair Joe Gantly]. It is not necessary, for the purposes of determining this application, to make any determination as to what has given rise to those issues, but they are the context for what happened on 12th October, 2006 and subsequently." http://www.bailii.org/ie/cases/IEHC/2006/H358.html

Working environment ( 22 respondents - 10% of all comments made): "Internal politics of UCC will always supersede staff concerns and staff difficulties", "We're not really part of mainstream UCC. Most of us feel isolated - very little support system", "Exploitation by UCC of its temporary staff. What can be done to reduce it?", "UCC has serious problems re: looking after staff welfare, and there is a problem that jobs, benefits/promotion is at stake if problems are raised again and again", "Concerns about job security after lodging complaint about workplace bullying and intimidating", "It does not deal with the type of bullying institutionalised in universities", "I have a very stressful work environment. The leadership culture in this organisation is a bullying culture. There's no transparency for accountability for leaders and I am considering giving up work as a result", "There is a problem with bullying in our office and I do not think that the current structures in UCC could deal with it effectively. I don't think the EAP is probably the best place to deal with these concerns, but it might help to let off steam. The problem is that the management at the top are bullies - it trickles down the management line so while we have excellent policies re bullying, harassment management they are (or I perceive them to be) not much use", "There is a culture of bullying & harassment in UCC - lot of tolerance of this behaviour", "Most of my work-related problems relate to the inadequate support structure provided by the College", Mistrust College systems for addressing these issues believe (rightly or wrongly) they would be weighed in favour of management", "I believe there are other cultural/morale problems in the University which need to be improved rather than a support service to deal with the problems", "The culture and operational mode of UCC is alien to EAP. Policy on paper is fine; reality totally different. UCC makes people sick - including HR modus operandi", "I do not have a strong opinion on EAP but would like to see it as a substitute for a HR Dept which is sensitive to working conditions of employees and which on a daily basis Fights for practical solution".
