Work Shield and RSquared have joined forces to identify and solve workplace harassment and discrimination issues. The strategic partnership will combine their human and data-driven approaches to provide “a complete solution” to combat workplace harassment and discrimination.
With diversity and inclusion more important than ever, this partnership is the first of its kind to provide employers with valuable metrics and data surrounding employee satisfaction while demonstrating employer proactivity and heightened security for employees. Work Shield’s reporting, investigation and resolution services paired with RSquared’s cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) platform will allow for quicker identification, analysis and resolution of toxicity and inappropriate workplace behaviour. In short, RSquared identifies the issues and Work Shield resolves them.
According to the companies, the partnership will be beneficial to both staff and employees. It will give employees access to an immediate and impartial platform to safely voice harassment and discrimination incidents without fear of retaliation. Employers will get peace of mind that issues are investigated and resolved efficiently, risk is mitigated, and company culture is protected.
SAFER WORKPLACES
“We have data proving that no matter how dedicated an employer is to prevention and training, or how tight their culture is, no company is immune to harassment or discrimination,” said Jared Pope, Founder and CEO of Work Shield. “The analytics and trends provided by RSquared will be monumental in both the prevention and investigation processes, giving employers a comprehensive plan to make their company inclusive and safe for employees.”
Adding to his comments, Dan Udoutch, Co-founder and CEO of RSquared, stated: “By combining forces with Work Shield, we are giving our clients assurance that once our platform is implemented and data collection identifies trends and toxic behaviour, they will have a trusted partner to take the next step to investigate the issue and ensure workplace cultures are protected. This full-service solution will give employers and employees peace of mind that they are being protected and that action is being taken to ensure their safety.”
RSquared utilises “artificial intelligence and natural language processing to provide secure monitoring and analysis of email, instant messaging and other digital communications, giving employers valuable insight on employee engagement, sentiment and attitude”. The trends and data identified by RSquared’s platform will then allow Work Shield-certified legal professionals to analyse the activity of individuals involved in investigations and determine patterns of toxic behaviour, according to the two firms.
