Dear Rich Aitken

 

Thank you for your further email about workplace bullying.

 

Nicole Rosie, WorkSafe’s Chief Executive, has provided a public statement
on bullying and harassment as outlined here:
[1]https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bullying-....

 

Consistent with this statement WorkSafe,  has processes in place to
support early reporting and management of bullying and harassment
concerns.  We see it as a positive sign of an effective health and safety
reporting system that we have had reporting of concerns around bullying
and harassment in our workplace (noting that up to  1 in 3  NZ workers
report that they are bullied in any year).  The cases reported since
inception have all been followed up with investigations including
independent investigations initiated as appropriate to individual cases. 
This is also consistent with what we do with other reported health and
safety incidents in our organisation (around 20 of these each year). 
Whilst not all claims have been substantiated, we have taken them all
 very seriously and actively worked to address the issues being raised. 

 

WorkSafe is very focused on improving its people leadership,  culture and
internal health and safety performance.  We have invested  in building a
people and capability strategy , leadership framework and health and
safety capability and committees over the last year.  Development of our
people and culture is a key strategic focus in our just released strategy
to 2022.  Positively, our recent engagement surveying (just completed) has
shown a significant uplift in employee participation over the last year
reflecting a broad range of activities we are doing to build a high
performing culture and organisation..

 

In short, we are very committed to improving outcomes for NZ in the
bullying and harassment area and are at the same time actively working to
build a high performing organisation and culture that aligns with this
focus.

 

Kind regards | ngâ mihi nui
