From Healthcare to Hospitality, a New ‘#NotMe’ Solution to Workplace Harassment is Emerging
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) February 26, 2020 -- #NotMe, an open, resolution-seeking, mobile misconduct solution that supports anyone who needs help, has seen rapid expansion across a variety of industries, with new clients in the government, retail, hospitality and healthcare adopting and customizing the platform to fit the needs of their employees and industries. Recent studies have shown that 90% of employees who are the victims of harassment never report it. #NotMe is working with companies and individuals to bring this statistic down to zero.
#NotMe’s 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. Employees feel safe coming forward with their sensitive reports because #NotMe offers privacy and resources without fear of retribution from employers. With #NotMe, employees can decide to report anonymously or not. Employers and individuals alike feel protected because #NotMe is the only neutral, reporting solution that was created by an employment lawyer, and the platform offers expert advice on how to navigate situations of harassment and workplace misconduct.
“The idea for #NotMe was born on a plane back in 2017. I was flying back from Paris to Los Angeles reading one of the #MeToo stories in a magazine. In the article, a famous actress was sharing how she had been the victim of sexual harassment. I realized that anyone could be the victim of workplace misconduct, and that most people did not know where to turn for help. I designed #NotMe as a response to #MeToo. Our neutral, resolution-seeking platform offers an accessible and actionable way to eradicate workplace harassment,” said Ariel Weindling, founder and CEO of NotMe Solutions, Inc.
Companies are beginning to understand that a report from an employee is not a liability but an opportunity to improve the workplace by keeping it productive and safe. The adoption of this platform from retail stores to boardrooms speaks to the ease and flexibility of this App. #NotMe is a streamlined solution that is aligned with today’s workforce. One of the early adopters of #NotMe is Coastal Management, LLC, a Dunkin Donuts franchisee with 70 locations and 1,600 employees, that is experiencing the practicality of this solution first-hand.
"In the modern world, especially where people do everything from their phones, it made so much sense to work with #NotMe and partner with the company in order to make the reporting and prevention of misconduct much safer and easier for our employees.” said Matt Smith, Director of HR/Risk Management at Coastal Management LLC.
‘It is crucial that employees report instances of misconduct as soon as they occur, even micro aggressions. Reporting provides their employers with the opportunity to address the situation early on and course-correct before something more egregious follows,’ added Weindling. ‘The first step in eliminating misconduct starts with reporting, and that is where #NotMe comes into play.’
Each submission through the #NotMe app is 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.
#NotMe’s unique AI algorithms monitor each situation and provide reports that help monitor each incident. The platform can even flag repeat offenders or predict situations that may lead to an unsafe work environment. The App offers anonymous reporting and also offers live support to victims or witnesses of harassment.
