New Zealand’s biggest businesses need to review the effectiveness of their bullying and harassment policies and processes.
The April 2018 New Zealand Diversity Survey revealed that 95 per cent of large organisations have a formal policy or an initiative in place to address harassment in the workforce. However more than half have recorded incidents of bullying and harassment in the past year.
Diversity Works New Zealand Chief Executive Rachel Hopkins says the new data provides an opportunity to start a more in-depth conversation with businesses about the bullying and harassment challenges they are facing, and the support they need to mitigate this issue.
