DESCRIPTION
According to a survey commissioned by Queen's School of Business, the percentage of Canadians who have witnessed or experienced harassment in the workplace has noticeably declined in the last two years. According to the 2014 study, 23 percent of Canadians say they have personally experienced workplace harassment in their own life, down from 28 percent in 2012. Similarly, the percentage of Canadians who say they have witnessed workplace harassment has dropped to 25 percent, down from 33 percent in 2012. Four percent of Canadians report that they are currently experiencing workplace harassment, or have in the last year, which is virtually unchanged from 2012. The study also reveals that while more men say they have witnessed workplace harassment than women (30 percent versus 20 percent), the opposite is the case when it comes to personally experiencing it in their own work life. Roughly one in three females (31 percent) has or is currently experiencing workplace harassment versus 22 percent of males.
