AllVoices, the employee feedback management platform with features including an anonymous two-way communication channel, a whistleblower hotline, pulse surveys, and a case management system, today released the findings from its State of Workplace Harassment 2021 report.
The report surveyed Americans who are employed full time with the goal of better understanding their experiences, frustrations, and suggestions for organizations to handle workplace harassment. Employees from across all sectors and job levels participated to share their experiences with harassment, why many of them are reluctant to report, and what practical approaches workplaces can take to combat harassment today.
Commenting on the findings, Claire Schmidt, CEO and founder of AllVoices, said: "High-profile issues of harassment in workplaces seem to be hitting the news every week, but issues like workplace harassment happen at all levels and in all industries. This report reveals that even in a work from home or hybrid environment, harassment doesn't disappear. Organizations need to implement options for employees to share feedback in a way that makes them feel safe and heard. When more concerns are being voiced, companies can work proactively to uncover and address workplace issues."
Key Findings:
- 38% still experienced harassment remotely, through email, video conferencing, chat apps, or by phone
- 24% believe harassment continues or gets worse through remote work channels
- 44% have experienced harassment at work
- 53% say their workplace immediately addresses harassment, yet only 54% of respondents have had their issues fully resolved
- 34% have left a job because of unresolved harassment issues
- Only 50% have reported harassment
- 85% are more likely to report harassment if they have an anonymous channel
- Only 72% believe their workplace wants harassment reported
