Summary

"The Commission examined the approximately 718 harassment complaints filed between 2005 and 2011, representing roughly 2.5 % of all employees of the RCMP. Ninety percent of complaints alleged what could be termed bullying. The Commission determined that the complaints were for the most part dealt with in accordance with the RCMP’s harassment policy. However, the manner in which the process could be applied in accordance with policy varied widely. In addition, the documentation may not capture all allegations brought forward given the potential of early diversion to an informal process. The Commission recommends that in order to accurately define the magnitude of the issue, the RCMP implement a systematically compiled and nationally comparable system of data collection and reporting in respect of all incidences of workplace conflict, including harassment."--Page 2.
