Commenting on the findings, Claire Schmidt, CEO and founder of AllVoices, said: “In the face of ‘The Great Resignation’ it is more important than ever for organizations to build safe and happy workplaces for employees. This report finds that discrimination in the workplace is widespread and ongoing, despite the move to remote work and perhaps despite some companies’ best efforts. We want to encourage and support companies in their efforts to hear, learn, respond, and grow in a way that prioritizes inclusivity, trust and safety.”

“Organizations looking to improve their employee feedback program need to first start listening to their employees to find out what their blind spots might be, which initiatives they really need, and what conversations the organization should be having. It’s also about implementing channels for anonymous feedback, and shoring up internal processes to ensure that reports are being tracked and resolved,” added Schmidt.
