Remote workplace harassment has become an increasingly urgent problem, according to recent research from AllVoices. Here’s what employers can do about it.
Schmidt says that, based on the report, 39% of Black employees have experienced personal harassment in the remote workplace, and 36.1% have experienced racism.According to the report, unsolved harassment issues can be detrimental to businesses, as 34% of survey respondents say they left their jobs because of it. According to, the expense to replace an employee can cost upwards of nine months' worth of that employee's salary.
"Harassment can negatively impact someone's daily workplace experience, from their morale to feeling safe both physically and psychologically to loss of trust in their organization if the issue goes unresolved," Schmidt says. Psychological safety plays a big role in employee well-being in the workplace, according to AllVoices. Over half of employees report not feeling psychologically safe.
The study suggests that employers implement an anonymous harassment reporting platform so workers can report on any workplace harassment without dealing with any repercussions. According to the report, 85% of workers are more likely to report harassment if they have an anonymous channel. Additionally, respondents believe that they and their coworkers would be more encouraged to report with an anonymous reporting tool or platform.
"Employers have to go beyond just the mandatory annual harassment training," Schmidt says."They also need to be more transparent about the disciplinary actions that will be taken against the perpetrator should harassment occur. And finally, they need to be responsive and thorough in investigating incidents that occur.""Companies who make these changes will likely see increased retention, which is more important than ever during the Great Resignation," she says.
