Massey University's extensive NZ Workplace Barometer 2021 Findings Report which surveyed employees of 23 organisations noted that 17 percent of respondents reported they had experienced bullying themselves while 36.8 percent observed bullying towards others. Both results were reasonably similar to the percentages reported in 2020 and 2019 Workplace Barometers.
