My healing journey has taught me that we can do better, so throughout 2023-2024, I dedicated my time and financial resources to completing a number of highly recognized courses via Harvard Law School, Harvard Business School, and Queens IRC. While my former employers used a one-size-fits-all approach to address wellness and safety concerns, along with a manufactured statement passing off issues to a remote employee assistance program, this was ultimately not just ineffective but also caused significant harm and distress. While working through this adverse experience, I stockpiled tips that safe spaces start when workplace issues are addressed in a meaningful manner and staff feel secure to share their experiences and concerns without repercussions. Organizations that provide safety to their staff will have less sick time, increased loyalty and productivity, and reduced worker’s compensation claims. My experience taught me valuable lessons, mainly because of what I didn’t receive from my employer in my time of need for safety. It gave me a gift of insight that I want to share. My recent studies have given me valuable skills that help facilitate and improve how we manage these complex and often emotionally charged situations. Assessing risk and creating safety plans and case plans were integral to my duties as a former social worker. From a real-life perspective, I understand how damaging workplace harassment and workplace concerns can be when not adequately addressed through meaningful interventions.
