Prevalence of bullying behaviours in the last 12 months (behavioural definition) One in five workers have experienced workplace bullying in the last 12 months. PREVALENCE OF BULLYING 20% ALL WORKERS “I was treated badly by the female supervisor. Telling me off for talking but letting everyone else talk. Always snapping at me all day long. One day I snapped and made a complaint to the manager. It came out later that she said I didn’t respect her. But how could I? That was the end of the bullying to me. Phew.” 60-69 year old male who was working in the manufacturing sector “Just being a contractor without knowing what days you are working, whether you would have work the next week and getting texted or emailed a few days in advance, then being talked down to by other co-workers or others in charge managers etc. Putting up with lame nick names, negative attitudes, age differences, even boss’s daughter making bullying comments daily. Just rude people in general. People that also blame you for things that are their jobs when you don’t even really work there because you are a contractor.” 40-49 year old Māori who was working in the arts and recreation sector “My manager was bullying me. I interpreted her actions as trying to get rid of me. I was being given responsibilities well below my qualifications, I was being criticised in front of other people. Micromanaging on a daily basis, not giving clear instructions, sometimes shouting. After filing a formal complaint with HR I was offered internal mediation. I was not allowed to bring a support person to meetings. Ultimately, I was told that there are communication issues that I needed to resolve. I became very stressed and started overeating. Ultimately, I quit my job.” 30-39 year old male who was working in the administrative and support services sector Base: All respondents (2,512) Q12 In the last 12 months, how often have you personally experienced this in a work environment?
