REES Workplace

Why REES Culture Shift Benefits Privacy

REES is a simple, secure online platform for reporting sexual harassment, misconduct and assault that can be customized to the unique needs of any workplace.

As a safe, secure platform, REES is an integral part of any Human Resource department or can function as a stand-alone option for small businesses. The platform can be tailored to the needs of any workplace.

REES gathers critical data about prevalence, including unwanted sexual behaviours that often go unreported, which can be used to inform policy development, identify training gaps and enhance employer responses. It also provides essential information to employees about workplace policies and supports.

REES can be adapted for use across any sector or industry

Leading a Workplace Culture Shift

REES and The Purple Method have teamed to enhance their offerings with our simple, secure online platform for reporting sexual harassment and misconduct that can be customized to the needs and priorities of any workplace.

Many employees fear reporting misconduct because they are afraid of retaliation. It turns out that this fear is well-founded: a recent survey found that almost 80% of employees in the United States experienced retaliation for reporting misconduct. This reporting gap has serious implications for your organization’s ability to successfully address workplace misconduct.

“When I first learned about REES’s important work on college campuses, I was excited to find a reporting solution that was truly trauma-informed and centered on the needs of survivors.
