Bullying big at Waikato DHB, according to staff survey
Almost 60 per cent of at Waikato DHB staff have witnessed bullying at work in the past year, "mind blowing" figures reveal.
Meanwhile, thirty-two per cent of respondents said they felt bullied by a team member over the same period.
Almost 4000 staffers filled in the survey in late 2018, and board members saw the survey results in a recent meeting.
Speaking later, Dave Macpherson called the figures mind blowing and said whoever ended up running the DHB would have to do something about it.
Outgoing interim chief executive Derek Wright said it was naive to think bullying wasn't going on in a big organisation, but the figure were concerning.
Some instances of bullying would probably have been feedback which wasn't delivered in a constructive way, he said.
