Support moving forward Māori workers want better, more independent support to deal with the effects of workplace harassment and bullying. MOVING FORWARD • 43% of Māori workers impacted by harassment or bullying felt they needed more support than what they got at the time. This jumps to 63% when the impact is large or extreme. • Top 5 things that would be useful: - Someone independent looking into the workplace culture/policies (36%) - Anti-bullying and harassment training for the workplace (33%) - Support making an internal complaint (22%) - Independent, free service to resolve the situation (19%) - Counselling/mental health support services (16%) “I had been bullied over a long period of time and the senior bosses continued to support the bully. They got a lawyer and I could not afford one and the stuff their lawyer was saying was very untrue, but I was in a very vulnerable position and just accepted a whole lot of things that I regret. I wished I had a voice back then. I am trying to work through it as I don’t want it to impact on my life, but it makes me angry every time it jumps up in my mind, which is a few times a week.” - Māori male who was working in the health care and social assistance sector 68 KANTAR PUBLIC 2022
