Why preventing workplace discrimination requires secure reporting
Discrimination often goes unreported when employees fear retaliation, feel uncertain about what qualifies as discrimination, or lack trust in internal processes. This can include concerns related to age, gender, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics. Informal or unclear reporting paths can discourage reporting and make consistent handling difficult.
A secure reporting system allows concerns to be raised confidentially, investigated fairly, and documented clearly – helping organizations identify issues early, reduce legal and reputational risk, and demonstrate responsible workplace practices.
