The Workplace Relations and Safety Minister's being urged to address the huge cost of workplace bullying.
A report by the Human Rights Commission and KPMG has found the cost of bullying and harassment to employers is about $1.5 billion a year.
Equal Opportunities Commissioner Saunoamaali'i Karanina Sumeo told Mike Hosking that Minister Brooke van Velden wants to look at health and safety laws and the grievance processes.
She hopes the minister's paying attention to the report, because it may be a loss for businesses but it's the people's lives that are at the centre of this.
