Achieve Workplace Harmony Limited

General information

Unhappy at work?
As an employee or employer you may have many questions about fairness or the lack thereof in the form of bullying, harassment, discrimination and violence in the workplace. According to one newspaper in New Zealand,”One in five Kiwi workers suffers from workplace bullying, one of the worst rates in the world.”

The information on this site could answer your questions which will enable you to make the right decisions.

With planning you could avoid ongoing misperceptions, unpleasant situations and loss of time and money

Both employer and employee have a duty of “good faith” in the employment relationship as both are subject to The Employments Relations Act 2000, The Health and Safety Act 1992, and the Human Rights Act 1993.

How are you upholding your duty of trust, confidence and good faith?
Why did the situation get so out of hand?
What happens when a working relationship breaks down?

Penalty payments – did you know the courts could make a ruling when in breach of your obligations that:

an individual could pay up to $10,000?
the company or institution could pay up to $20,000?
This is not taking other payments and costs into consideration.

You can eliminate or minimise the effects of bad behaviour in your workplace by:

having behavioural guidelines and processes in place
ensuring that everyone in your workplace is getting ongoing training to identify, eliminate or prevent discrimination, harassment, bullying and violence at work
