Support with conflicts, complaints, absenteeism, and difficult situations — practical help that stops small issues becoming formal disputes.
Workplace absence cost the New Zealand economy $4.17 billion in 2024 — up from $2.86 billion just two years earlier. Left unaddressed, workplace conflict is a major driver of that cost, with harassment alone estimated to cost NZ employers around $1.5 billion annually.
