In this article, Claire Baylis examines the statutory models of mediation/conciliation in the Human Rights Act 1993 and the Employment Contracts Act 1991 which are used for sexual harassment complaints. She argues that the practice of mediating these complaints is inappropriate due to the incompatibility of the cha585he specific characteristics of most sexual harassment complaints. Further, an analysis of the actual dispute resolution provisions under the Acts raises other issues in the sexual harassment context. Finally, the author outlines some possible reforms to dispute resolution processes in this area.

Bullying And Harassment

Any form of workplace abuse, be it bullying, sexual or non-sexual harassment, or other forms of workplace violence, represents a significant problem for both workers and organisations. The reality that worker complaints of such abuse are often silenced, frequently for long periods of time, has recently been spotlighted by the #MeToo movement. In this article we focus particularly on workplace bullying (some definitions include harassment). We explore how potential, and actual, complaints of such abuse may silenced—both before complaints are ever made, and also at different points along the complaint or dispute resolution process. We investigate how definitional and naming issues, worker ignorance and incapacity, workplace investigations, (alternative) dispute resolution and the legal pathways available to targets of workplace bullying and harassment may act to silence complaints. We also provide some practical suggestions for the targets of workplace abuse.
