Podcasts about pink shirt day

Last Friday (May 16) was Pink Shirt Day in New Zealand which, as we know, is to promote anti-bullying - serving as a reminder that bullying can happen anywhere. Some people think it only happens in the playground at school but reports show it also occurs in workplaces, with a Massey Uni study in 2023 reported 1 in 4 people experienced bullying at least monthly in the workplace. Clinical psychologist Dougal Sutherland unpacked the numbers - and offered up some tips as to how it can be dealt with. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The week has come to an end once more, and Mike Hosking was joined by Kate Hawkesby and Tim Wilson to Wrap the Week that was.

If you talk to anyone who has been a manager and you ask them what's the best thing about being a manager and what's the worst, the answer will be the same for both. The people.   I know, because I've been a manager before, and I know exactly how brilliant it can be when things are going great with your people. But, when they're not, it can be a nightmare.   And a new report out today from the Human Rights Commission and KPMG shows just how much of a nightmare it can be when those problems are caused by bullies. They've actually put a price tag on it.  Which has prompted someone who says they were bullied out of a job —and who is something of an anti-bullying campaigner— to say today that they think bullying is part of New Zealand's culture.  And I agree. We like to think we're a bunch of good sorts, but if you start to think about it for even just a minute or two, you start to realise that we are deluded on that front. And that bullying happens everywhere.  Now it's no coincidence that this report has come out today, because it's Pink Shirt Day which is one of those annual awareness things.   But, when it comes down to it, do you think everyone turning up to work and school in pink shirts and maybe having a morning tea together is going to change anything? Good on you if you are getting involved in all of this today, but I think it almost trivialises bullying.  Because there will be no shortage of people today who are being bullied —in workplaces, for example— who will see people in the office running around in pink shirts and they will just know that, come Monday, it will all be back to normal. And the bullies will be back to normal transmission, and nothing will have changed.   So, this report by the Human Rights Commission and KPMG says bullying in the workplace collectively costs employers $1.5 billion every year.  They've worked it out by measuring things like people taking more time off work because of bullying, people not performing at their best because of what's going on, higher staff turnover, and the time it takes to deal with complaints about bullying.   Anti-bullying campaigner James Hilford says he was bullied out of a job and says it's rife everywhere.   When I first heard what he was saying, I thought ‘oh here we go'. But then I thought about it, and he's right.  When we're out driving, we're bullies. Parents, at times, bully their kids. The All Blacks, we bully them endlessly. Social media. Whatsapp groups. I'd go as far as saying that we even bully ourselves. That's how ingrained it is.   You've got your passive aggressive types, they're bullies. Then you've got the people who don't even try to hide their bullying behaviour.    I remember working somewhere once —and I wasn't the manager— and they had a thing up on the wall recording how much money everyone was bringing into the business. That was bullying.   They probably thought it was about driving performance. But it wasn't. It was bullying. It was shaming the people who weren't bringing-in as much revenue as some of the others.  This isn't to say, by the way, that things haven't changed. Things have changed in terms of bullying, at least, being talked about, which is a start. But I reckon that might be as good as it gets.  And we can have Pink Shirt Days until we're blue in the face. But with bullying so ingrained in pretty much everything we do —so ingrained in our culture— I think we're stuck with it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The report out that workplace bullying is costing the country in terms of productivity and lost earnings is nothing new.  Bullying and harassment are conservatively estimated to cost employers $1.5 billion a year, according to a new study by KPMG, published for Friday's Pink Shirt Day.     Years ago, there was a story on workplace bullying that surfaced in the news and the Department of Labour had to scramble to get extra staff to man the phones when a helpline they set up to take calls was overwhelmed. They had to keep it running for far longer than they ever imagined they would need to, such was the response.  I'd like to think things have changed since I was a young journalist, but I don't think they have, and the report seems to confirm they have not.  I grew up in newsrooms which were no place for the fainthearted.  Sure, there was no physical hazing or pranking, but journos are good with words and there was some brutal sledging.  I wasn't often on the receiving end of it, but on the rare occasion, I had a boss lean over me screaming into my face that I was effing useless and that I didn't deserve to be there and who the ‘f' had I slept with to be on the team was fairly memorable.  To be fair, I was a bit rubbish. Most people new to any job make mistakes and haven't developed into the best versions of themselves, and yes, I probably didn't deserve to be there. I knew I hadn't slept my way into the job and the others knew I hadn't so that bit didn't really matter. So, after a bit of a cry in the toilets and being mopped up by my colleagues it was onwards and upwards.  A different person might have been scarred for life. Given up on their chosen career and done something else.     And I rather fear it is still happening because today's study used data from the Human Rights Commission's 2022 report, which surveyed 2500 workers across Aotearoa and found 29% of workers experienced at least one bullying or harassment behaviour in the year before the survey.  The report found that 58% of the total cost of ($780m) in 2021-22 arose from impacts on female workers as they are disproportionately affected by bullying or harassment, according to the report. Or maybe it's more likely that they will report it or that they will find offence and hurt from words other workers might not.  It found that every worker affected cost employers about $1600, which could be broken down into absenteeism ($219), presenteeism ($450), where you're there, but you're not there. You're at your desk but you're not working. Increased staff turnover ($674), and internal procedures such as dealing with complaints ($270).  Big numbers, no doubt about that.    At least now there are procedures for dealing with complaints. Back then, it was ‘suck it up and get on with it'. But I mean, nobody in the olden days was trained to be a boss. After a certain period of time you were promoted, you became one whether you were good at dealing with people or not. These days, I think the training is a little bit better if you want to be a manager. You're given a bit more support once you become a manager, but back then, it just simply didn't happen.  But it's also difficult to know how people are going to receive your words. I mean, we were talking about this before and the boss is, you know, sometimes he will say ‘I'd like you to do this', and a young worker will say, ‘yeah, no, not really for me.' And he goes ‘it wasn't, this isn't a workshop. This is, this is not a discussion. This is what I need you to do to do your job.' And that can be construed in this day and age as bullying.   A bit of banter between work mates, fine. A bit of banter with the wrong workmate? Not fine.  It all has to be so nuanced, doesn't it? And I know that I have got the height of a rhinoceros, I know that I will go for the one liner wherever I can and sometimes that can be hurtful. So, I have tried to give younger workers, you know, when they feel that they might, I might have gone too far, a way of letting me know that. I know that I'm older, I've been around longer,  I can be bolshy, so I try to let them know that they can tell me if I'm a bit much. So far they haven't, and I hope that's not because they're not cowering in their crocs.  I try to be mindful that we're all of different generations, that we all grew up with different expectations. But it must be incredibly difficult to manage when you are a manager with numerous generations of workers. When you need a job done. When people respond in different ways to different instructions.   I have no doubt that there are some toxic, nasty, petty people who exist to make others' lives misery, but I do sometimes wonder whether some of these figures Are not toxic bullying but crossed wires. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In May every year, kura and workplaces across Aotearoa celebrate Pink Shirt Day. It's a chance to visibly demonstrate our intolerance of bullying, and our commitment to diversity and being an upstander. With research showing that victims of bullying often find the inactions of bystanders more hurtful than the actual bullying behaviour, Mark Wilson (Pink Shirt Day), Mace Malcolm (InsideOUT) and Meg Craig (Elephant Trust) discuss what being an upstander means in the context of playground bullying: basically, taking action to support the victim. Their core message is that 'little things' can make a huge difference, and that acts of kindness and awhi can take place after the bullying act, not only in the moment.

There's been reports that this has increased since COVID, particularly online.  People usually think there is a particular “personality type” that engages in bullying and therefore in order to stop it we just have to root out those particular people. Whilst this is true to some extent (e.g., people who are more narcissistic and want to advance their career tend to engage in bullying behaviour more), what research shows is that bullying behaviour is more likely to occur in workplaces where there are high levels of stress.  Research found that when people had high workloads there was more bullying at work, and that this rate was increased even further when people were feeling insecure about their jobs. So, when people are feeling stressed and under pressure they behave in negative ways towards others – “hurt people hurt people”.  Particularly relevant at the moment when we have high workloads and people feeling very insecure about their jobs due to current economic environment and also because Pink Shirt Day coming up on 17 May.  What can done:  - Organisations need to be alert to the increased risk at the moment.  - Leaders need to create an environment where people feel comfortable speaking up when something they don't like is happening (this is called psychological safety).  - Pay attention to the small seeds that might start to take root – not technically bullying but being rude or uncivil towards others —Prof Geoff Plimmer from Victoria Uni calls this “workplace incivility”— like a virus that can spread through an organisation. - The Mental Health Foundation and Umbrella Wellbeing are running a free webinar about online bullying for Pink Shirt Day    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
