We've been building stuff in the HR space during free time. We were asking companies questions like: "How do you report an issue in your workplace?" or "How do you know when workplace misconduct has occurred?"
Turns out, ~75% of misconduct witnessed in workplaces goes unreported[1] due to legacy processes, tools, or a system that doesn’t empower employees to share what’s going on.. :( Unfortunately, makes sense based on what we see in the news or hear from our friends - employees don't report and employers are left in the dark.
So, we’ve been hacking around in the space, trying to improve workplace incident reporting and communication channels to ally with those that need tools like these. We've built:
- Anonymous communication tools to share what's going on at work.
- Survey analytics to detect when issues arise in workplaces.
- Top quality incident report management for employers.
Been an interesting space — https://heyavery.io, come say hullo
