One of the most important induction topics for #FreshersWeek ⬇️ What to do if a student feels unsafe on or off campus. Including unwanted sexual behaviour and harassment. Want detailed advice on preparing for your freshers? We have a blog for that: https://bit.ly/4cJcF2Q Often, #HE induction talks cover practical information, like how to use the library facilities. More and more #HE institutions are adopting induction discussions about what to do in incidents of #SexualViolence or #SexualMisconduct where students experience unwanted sexual behaviour. With Freshers Week a statistical peak for incidents that compromise consent (like #Spiking), empowering your students to #SpeakUp if they feel unsafe is at the top of the induction talk priorities. ✅ Top tip: Circulate a faculty email reminding all staff about your #ReportandSupport system- especially your campus security team. Share key #StudentSupport faces and contact details with staff, helping to close the safeguarding loop if a staff member were to have concerns over a new student’s mental well-being. #UniversityDays #HigherEducation #FreshersWeek #CampusSafety #SexualHarassmentAwareness #StudentSupport #CultureShift

🏫 Transforming Campus Culture at UCL 🏫 We're always keen to share our collaboration with University College London (UCL), where we’ve helped foster a safer, more inclusive environment for over 50,000 students and 16,000 staff. The Culture Shift platform was introduced in 2019 as part of their #FullStop campaign to address and prevent bullying, harassment, and #SexualMisconduct within the university community. UCL has empowered its community to report and address issues related to harassment, bullying, and discrimination. The result? A significant step toward a supportive and respectful campus culture. ➡️ Access the full case study link here: https://bit.ly/3Mog1xg 🔍 Key Highlights: A seamless integration of the reporting tool across the UCL campus. 24/7 accessibility for all students and staff members. Real-time data insights to proactively address and resolve issues. UCL’s commitment to well-being and inclusivity continues to set high standards in higher education. We’re proud to be a part of their journey to disrupt toxic and harmful behaviours in #HE and to provide valuable software to enable these changes 🌟 #HigherEd #CampusSafety #CultureShift #UCL #InclusiveEducation #Wellbeing #StudentSuccess

🧠 1 in 5 of us have taken time off work in the last year due to poor mental health caused by pressure or stress. Mental Health UK has found that fast-paced environments and other stress factors are increasing the risk of burnout in workplaces. Company culture should hold employee wellbeing as a priority, not an afterthought. ➡️ So, as a HR professional, what can you do to reduce the risk of employee burnout? Not forgetting your own wellbeing and mental health must be protected, too. There are #HRTools that can reduce the risk of burnout in workplaces. Reporting software helps to identify toxic behaviours like #Harassment and #Discrimination that will help to reduce burnout risks and increased stress in the workplace. 💡 If you’re ready to improve your workplace culture for good, check out our cultural transformation strategy: https://lnkd.in/e9fiPFmC You can reduce the risk of employee burnout by: ✅ Identifying toxic behaviours early on Preventing escalation of stress and burnout by dealing with workplace issues promptly. ✅ Empowering employees to speak up When employees have an anonymous, user-friendly method of reporting inappropriate workplace behaviours, they can feel valued and respected, reducing feelings of powerlessness. ✅ Promoting a culture of transparency You work hard to encourage a positive workplace culture in your role. Transparent processes help to build trust within an organisation. The knowledge that your company is committed to addressing issues fairly and consistently can ease employee anxiety. ✅ Supporting mental health When employees experience discrimination or harassment, it takes a significant toll on their mental health, contributing to burnout. HR tools like Culture Shift help signpost employees to supportive resources. ✅ Creating a safer, more inclusive environment Workplaces that use reporting tools to address harassment and discrimination are more likely to foster a culture of respect and inclusion. This positive work environment helps employees to feel valued and respected, decreasing the likelihood of burnout. ✅ Data-driven interventions Targeted interventions like training programmes and policy changes can address underlying issues before they contribute to widespread burnout. ✅ Building psychological safety When employees known their concerns are taken seriously, they are more likely to feel psychologically safe at work. This sense of safety reduces chronic stress and anxiety- decreasing risk of burnout. Robust reporting tools helps companies address harassment and discrimination in the workplace and also creates a healthier, more supporting workplace that actively prevents employee burnout.
