We respond to your OIA below by providing the information in the table.

 

We have aggregated the team breakdown information relating to the teams
with low resignation numbers.  Given the small number of resignations from
these teams, if we provided the responses by team breakdown, it could
reveal the identity of the 4 persons that raised the matters.  We
therefore consider it is appropriate to withhold this team breakdown
information to protect the privacy of these 4 individuals (see section
9(2)(a) of the Official Information Act).  We note you have the right to
seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision to
withhold this breakdown. Information about how to make a complaint is
available at [1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

 

The FMA fosters a workplace environment that supports all employees
treating each other with respect. As a result, the FMA will not tolerate
bullying, harassment or discrimination of any form in the workplace. The
FMA takes bullying seriously and encourages the reporting of any such
unwelcome behaviour by complainants and witnesses, and has mechanisms to
report internally or via an external confidential service.  

 

The FMA proactively asks resigning employees about bullying and harassment
in the exit interview survey.  Each exit interview survey is followed with
a voluntary face-to-face meeting to discuss the context of the survey
answers; including covering the situation and behaviour that led to the
resignee holding the view that they were either subject to bullying, or
observed it. We have a bullying, harassment and discrimination policy
along with resolution guidelines, and we have bullying and harassment
online training which all staff complete to raise awareness. Staff also
have the option of having their exit interview conducted by an external
party for independence.

Subject: Official Information request - Bullying and harassment data

 

Dear Financial Markets Authority,

I am undertaking research into workplace behaviour and I would like the
following information…

The number of people who have resigned from your organisation between 1
January 2021 and today.

Of those who resigned, the number who stated that they were a victim of
bullying or harassment, or said they observed bullying or harassment. For
example, they may have said it in the leaving survey/interview.

I would like the above information broken down per area/function if you
have it.

I am requesting it under the OIA.

Yours faithfully,

Tony

We see the information we provided by email in response to your OIA was

accordingly provide the information again under the OIA, this time as a
