Last week, Te Kāhui Tika Tangata, the Human Rights Commission, jointly released a report with KPMG titled, ‘Counting the Cost: Estimating the economic cost of workplace bullying and harassment on New Zealand employers’. 

The report estimates the cost of bullying and harassment to employers in Aotearoa at around $1.5 billion a year, which is considered conservative as its estimate does not include all potential costs.

Producer Sofia Roger Williams spoke to Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner at the Human Rights Commission, Saunoamaali’i Karanina Sumeo, about the report and the importance of addressing bullying and harassment in the workplace.
