What is Report + Support?
Report + Support is an online tool developed by Culture Shift where employees can tell us anonymously, or talk to us (company) about unacceptable behaviour, or a wellbeing concern. The site is also home to information about internal and external support, policies and procedures and workplace campaigns and initiatives.
Who can tell us about an experience?
Culture Shift employees, third party staff and visitors can make a report through Report + Support.
What happens when someone tell's us something anonymously?
The case will be viewed by one of the administrators.
The administrators will first review the report to identify any risks that relate to duty of care. If no immediate risk is identified, no further, direct action will be taken. If any identifiable information is provided, the administrator will then remove the identifiable information.
The information kept will be for trend analysis and inform proactive prevention.
What is the difference between telling us something, or telling us anonymously?
Culture Shift does not know who has told us something anonymously, and therefore cannot reach out and provide support. Whereas if someone wants to receive support or consider informal or formal options to address a concern, they would tell us something and provide their contact details.
What happens when someone wants to tell us something?
The administrators assign a case to the requested advisor. Each of the advisors are provided with a login and can only access cases that are assigned to them.
The advisor receives an email notification that a case has been assigned to them – no identifiable information is provided within this email alert. The advisor then logs into the Report + Support dashboard to access information provided using their personal login details. One of the support team will then make contact with the person and they arrange a meeting to discuss in more detail.
What action can be taken if someone reports something anonymously?
