The 2025 New Zealand public service census data shows that 12.1% of public servants had experienced bullying or harassment at work, but only 52% affected have reported it. This means that 48% have not reported it. That's 2,598 people in the last 12 months. Follow me for more analysis of this survey

If you’re in a #leadership position responsible for #complaints management functions, bad news often comes with the territory. If you’re a leader new to this area and your default learned response for ‘career success’ is to suppress bad news and shoot the messenger, you need to rethink your style.

Failing to intervene and allowing unacceptable conduct to cause suffering to others is management neglect. If you're in a #leadership role, it's up to you (not #HR!) to deal with abrasive conduct from people who report to you. What you do sets the standards. #WorkplaceBullying #LifeAtTheSharpEnd

An interesting article and a useful analogy in this article in @firerescue1.bsky.social. Reminds me of a quote I saw many years ago - “antiquity is not a voucher for efficiency.” Just because it’s been done that way for a while doesn’t make it inherently right. Test and re-evaluate your processes!
