OCTOBER 2019

LeadWomen's upcoming It'sNotOK?! conference will address the cultural shift necessary to combat workplace harassment in corporate Malaysia. Workplace harassment can lead to financial and reputational damage, and a demoralised workforce.

While some of us may have experience with workplace harassment, it is highly likely that each of us has once been an implicit bystander or witness to harassment.

As The Balance's illustration shows, workplace harassment is extremely nuanced yet pervasive. Emtrain, our expert collaborator on the conference, captures some of the complexities of navigating workplace harassment in their thought provoking videos (click on the icons below to watch!):

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE BYSTANDER?

Bystanders play a critical role in addressing workplace harassment. Direct intervention and offering after-the-fact support signals to the harasser and the harassed that # ItsNotOK.

We can all do our part to create harassment-free workspaces and normalise #SpeakingUp against workplace harassment.

THE DATA GAP

There is a lack of data surrounding workplace harassment in corporate Malaysia. Watch LeadWomen Consultant, Maha Balakrishnan, and Director of Ipsos Malaysia, Nik Tasha, talk about why they think this is so on TV3's Malaysia Hari Ini. Help address the data gap by taking the LeadWomen workplace harassment survey.
