Far from being a purely social concern, the issue poses a significant and chronic economic risk to the country. That was the central message delivered by Raul Henriquez, Director and Secretary-General of the Social and Economic Council (SER) of Cura\u00e7ao, during a public seminar hosted on Tuesday, April 29, at the University of Cura\u00e7ao (UoC). The event was organized by the health and workplace advocacy group OneCare.<\/p>\n<p>Citing recent survey data, Henriquez reported that more than 80 percent of employees surveyed in Cura\u00e7ao had experienced some form of workplace misconduct, including harassment, bullying, or verbal aggression. Nearly half reported calling in sick due to such incidents, and over one-third ultimately left their organization. \u201cThis is not a collection of isolated incidents,\u201d Henriquez said. \u201cIt is a structural and underestimated phenomenon with clear macroeconomic consequences.\u201d Forecasts indicate that psychosocial insecurity at work leads to significant economic damage. For Cura\u00e7ao\u2014an island with a relatively small workforce and an economy heavily reliant on service sectors such as tourism, construction, and healthcare\u2014such losses are untenable. \u201cA toxic workplace culture translates directly into lower productivity, reputational harm, and the depletion of human capital,\u201d Henriquez warned. Both international research and regional data confirm the scale of the economic impact.<\/p>\n<p>As the country\u2019s highest advisory body on socio-economic matters, the SER is calling on employers, government agencies, social partners, and civil society organizations to take concerted action to promote a safer workplace environment. Henriquez advocated for the legal codification of psychosocial protection, the strengthening of reporting structures, and greater investment in prevention, employee training, and regulatory oversight.<br \/>\u201cSocial safety in the workplace is not optional,\u201d Henriquez stated. \u201cInvesting in a healthy and respectful workplace culture is an investment in productivity, resilience, and collective progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The seminar was attended by representatives from the private sector, government, academia, and civil society. It forms part of a broader public awareness and policy campaign led by OneCare and the SER to address workplace safety and dignity across the island.<\/p>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Add to any &#8211; niet aanpassen&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<pre><code><div class=\"addtoany_shortcode\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_24 addtoany_list\" data-a2a-url=\"https:\/\/ser.cw\/en\/2025\/05\/05\/ser-workplace-misconduct-costs-curacao-millions-each-year\/\" data-a2a-title=\"SER: Workplace misconduct costs Cura\u00e7ao millions each year\"><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ser.cw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/280\/2017\/12\/share.png\" alt=\"Share\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/code><\/pre>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Post Navigation &#8211; niet aanpassen&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; hide_prev=&#8221;off&#8221; hide_next=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f4fbff&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|30px|30px|30px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_post_title title=&#8221;off&#8221; meta=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Post Title &#8211; niet aanpassen&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_post_title][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/ser.cw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/280\/2025\/05\/2025_04_29-IX-Charifa-NJ-Stand-in-Your-Power-UoC-93.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;2025_04_29 -IX- Charifa &amp; NJ &#8211; Stand in Your Power &#8211; UoC-93&#8243; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Extra afbeelding&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;500ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/ser.cw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/280\/2025\/05\/2025_04_29-IX-Charifa-NJ-Stand-in-Your-Power-UoC-9.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;2025_04_29 -IX- Charifa &amp; NJ &#8211; Stand in Your Power &#8211; UoC-9&#8243; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Extra afbeelding&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;500ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Willemstad, May 5, 2025\u00a0\u2014 Misconduct and inappropriate behavior in the workplace are costing Cura\u00e7ao millions annually in lost productivity, increased absenteeism, and employee turnover.
