Processes in place for the psychosocial safety of employees at the Electoral Commission
S Callen made this Official Information request to Electoral Commission
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for S Callen to read recent responses and update the status.
From: S Callen
Dear Electoral Commission,
I am writing to request information under the Official Information Act 1982. Specifically, I would like to know the following:
How many business units does the Commission have, and how many people are on the executive leadership team?
What is the core headcount of the Commission? Please advise the number of employees in each business unit?
Does the Electoral Commission undertake an annual engagement survey to ask about employee experience with bullying and the Commission's response to managing bullies in the workplace? If so, what were the results of the survey and did any business unit have a higher number of bullying complaints than others?
How many bullying incidents have been investigated, and substantiated in the workplace?
Can you provide a breakdown of bullying complaints by business unit? I am aware bullying in the workplace can be quite hard to measure especially if psychosocial safety is low. What steps if any have been taken to improve the engagement and psychosocial safety of employees in the workplace?
Finally how many people have had "without prejudice" conversations resulting in them being exited from the Commission along with a settlement agreement? Had any of these people complained of being bullied by their manager?
I would appreciate it if you could provide this information for the most recent available period. If possible, please include any relevant details or breakdowns that can help understand the context of these complaints.
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards,
S Callen
