Workplace bullying can be subtle. The meeting someone is always left out of, the negative feedback delivered in front of the team, the workload that only ever lands on one desk. By the time it’s formally raised, it has usually been going on for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also more common than many leaders assume. Studies suggest between one in five and one in three New Zealand workers report bullying or harassment <\/a>each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What counts as bullying<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There’s no statutory definition. WorkSafe’s guidelines<\/a> describe it as “repeated and unreasonable behaviour” directed at a worker or group of workers that can lead to physical or psychological harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That leaves room for judgement. Case law shows the line between bullying and firm management isn’t always clear, which is why a consistent, well-documented process matters so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the law expects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015<\/a>, a business must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of its workers, and that includes their mental health. Bullying is a risk to be managed like any other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WorkSafe’s guidance is specific about what that looks like: a code of conduct, training for managers, and clear procedures for reporting unreasonable behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the person being bullied, the most common legal route is a personal grievance under the Employment Relations Act 2000<\/a>. In practice, that’s where most bullying complaints that go wrong end up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a bullying report becomes a protected disclosure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Protected Disclosures (Protection of Whistleblowers) Act 2022<\/a> widened the definition of “serious wrongdoing” to include a serious risk to the health or safety of any individual. Serious or sustained bullying can meet that bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That matters because protected disclosures come with obligations for the organisation receiving them, including confidentiality, and protection from retaliation for the person making them. WorkSafe now accepts protected disclosures about bullying and harassment directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The responsibility sits with you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

WorkSafe has been clear that it’s unlikely to intervene in one-off cases, and that people should generally raise concerns with their employer first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in most cases, your own process is the safety net. WorkSafe’s guidance on responding to bullying complaints comes down to a few principles: take the complaint seriously, act promptly, protect people from victimisation, support everyone involved, stay neutral, keep the process confidential, tell people what’s happening, and keep good records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of that works if people won’t come forward in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why independence matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bullying often involves a manager or a senior colleague, the very person staff are meant to take concerns to. That’s where the usual chain of command stops working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An independent channel gives people a way to raise concerns outside their reporting line, with the option to stay anonymous. For many people, that option is the difference between speaking up and staying quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For employers, it also means every concern is logged, tracked and handled consistently, which is exactly what the guidance asks for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How EthicsPro\u00ae helps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That’s what EthicsPro\u00ae<\/a> is built for. Staff can raise a bullying concern through Report It Now\u2122 by phone, text, online or post, whenever it suits them and without going through their manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anonymous reporters are given a confidential ID number, so investigators can ask follow-up questions and keep them updated without ever knowing who they are. For bullying, where the detail matters and the fear of being identified is real, that two-way contact is often what makes a complaint workable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every report is then managed through a secure case management system, giving you a clear record of what was raised, when, and how it was handled. Regular reporting helps you spot patterns too, such as repeated concerns in one team or about one manager, so you can act before a problem becomes entrenched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
