Holiday Harassment No More: #NotMe Keeps Office Parties In-Check
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) December 10, 2019 -- #NotMe, a mobile resolution-seeking platform that serves both individuals and organizations, has just released a holiday version of the app specifically designed for reporting and prevention of any type of misconduct at company holiday parties. Research shows that seasonal company gatherings have long been a source of misconduct in the workplace, and this app helps to make it safe. In a recent study, 40% of all employees reported that they had either engaged in inappropriate behavior at a holiday work event or knew someone who had. #NotMe’s free reporting solution provides a revolutionary way to move the needle from awareness to action, placing an accessible solution in the palm of everyone’s hands.
Nearly 60 percent of all workplace harassment is never reported. For the first time, employees who identify misconduct now have a safe and easy way to document and report incidents in real time. Employees are often left unprotected and confused about their rights in these types of social situations. Each submission through the #NotMe app will be reviewed by a highly-trained team of workplace experts and employee advocates, free of charge, providing advice and guidance to anyone who submits a report.
Company holiday parties often include alcohol, take place off company property, and create an environment where people make poor decisions, resulting in an increase of harassment at work during this season. The types of harassment that commonly occur around the holidays include unwanted and unwelcome advances, inappropriate or sexual remarks about an employee’s appearance, sexual remarks or jokes, awkward mistletoe moments, and parties that do not recognize all religious and secular holidays. #NotMe has created a ‘Holiday Party Survival Guide’ with helpful tips to follow at a company party.
"#NotMe was born out of a cry for behavior change and the need for a safe place for everyone, no matter their position of power, to report misconduct. We understand that many people find themselves in situations where they feel uneasy and they don’t know where to turn. That’s where #NotMe comes in,” said Ariel Weindling, founder and CEO, NotMe Solutions, Inc. “Although a single outrageous incident at a holiday party may by itself constitute sexual harassment, a pattern of inappropriate comments or unwanted advances is more common. It is critical to report instances of misconduct while they are still top of mind, as prevention starts with reporting,” added Weindling.
#NotMe’s unique AI algorithms monitor each situation and provide reports that help monitor every incident. The platform can even flag repeat offenders or assist in predicting situations that may lead to an unsafe work environment. Become agents of company culture change this holiday season, join the #NotMe generation, and download the free #NotMe app to report misconduct HERE. Make holiday parties safe this year.
