WRC rejects office manager’s dismissal and bullying complaints, recommends induction review

The WRC did not recommend in an office manager’s favour on complaints about constructive dismissal and bullying, but recommended that a service provider review its induction procedures. The recommendation was dated 3 June 2026. The worker said inadequate training and support, along with a director’s conduct, led him to resign. The officer said he had not used the employer’s internal procedures and found the incidents described did not reach the threshold for bullying. The officer said the induction process was poor and did not meet the worker’s needs.
