Dr Donna Stemmer is the founder of Workright23, a charitable trust based in New Zealand, that provides a platform for people affected by workplace bullying and harassment to document their experiences, get support and receive qualified advice on their options.
But Donna doesn't stop there, and she’s committed to working with organisations to provide anonymised data from complainants that can help them understand the true extent of workplace bullying, and what they can do to turn things around.
In this episode, Donna tells me about how Workright23 works and why it provides safety in numbers for people and organisations affected by bullying and harassment.
In a packed discussion, full of practical details, you'll hear us discussing:
• Why Workright23 is needed, and why targets shouldn't just go straight to HR to report workplace bullying• How Donna's organisations provides a confidential platform for targets, witnesses and bystanders• The problems facing HR, if they get bullied too - within their hierarchy, or by management• Why data about incidents helps organisations understand, and tackle, a toxic culture• How the platform works when people make a confidential report• How targets, witnesses and bystanders can report current and historic bullying (in New Zealand & Australia)• Why organisations need data to learn, change cultures and measure their improvement programmes• How GPs can use the platform to support targets' mental health• Reporting sexual harm and domestic violence• Matching perpetrators to prevent serial bullying across organisations - targets are not alone!• The impartial and independent support and advice people will receive when they register a case• Organisational behaviour, the letter and spirit of the law
