Ep 106 - Speaking out about bullying & harassment with Marie Hemingway
Have you ever experienced workplace bullying or harassment? It happens in many organisations but is all too often ignored, dismissed or swept under the rug, with victims being silenced or leaving when they are brave enough to speak up.
This week, I speak to Marie Hemingway, the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Speak Out Revolution - a non-profit organisation with a mission to cancel the culture of silence on harassment and bullying in our workplaces.
We discuss:
- How Speak Out Revolution is bringing transparency and a voice to workplace bullying and harassment
- How leaders can start to address workplace bullying and harassment in their organisation
- Why employee experience data, allyship training and leadership development are essential for building an inclusive working environment
Speak Out Revolution have a global Speak Out Survey where you can document your experience of workplace harassment and bullying. This anonymous data is then used to provide insights and actions for organisation.
Take the survey here.
