A company pledge should not just be an empty promise, but rather a process of accountability from the top down to ensure transformative change is not only adopted, but implemented and upheld over time.

    At its core, issues like this arise because the culture is not built on mutual respect and willing accountability. Accountability is a process of addressing harm that requires individuals to take responsibility for their behavior while creating measurable change and compliance with company policies and standards.

    Standard annual sexual harassment training is not enough. We need to build cultures that are built on honest communication and consent. When all employees have [more power] in the workplace, we can begin to create safer company cultures that are free from harassment of all kinds.

  • ...it just goes to show that there needs to be more than just annual prevention training, there needs to be accountability processes, and ways for people to learn and grow and be able to take care of each other and these workplaces.
