Creating a positive workplace culture where all team members feel safe, included and respected isn’t easy. The good news is that it’s becoming more and more talked about and companies are taking action. But there’s much more work to be done
Workplace harassment continues to lead to decreased productivity, low morale, high turnover rates, and toxic work cultures, hindering organisational success and growth
People have experienced violence and harassment at work, whether physical, psychological or sexual
Women experience some form of sexual harassment at work
Black women are 4 times more likely to experience harassment at work than white women
A complex challenge calls for solutions that meet companies where they are,
in order to trigger a lasting positive culture shift from within

“Very positive experience that got colleagues thinking. Different workshops for different audiences (think management vs. departments that have a lot to do with this topic, such as HR, Marketing). Good to have a conversation about this. The fact that the workshops were so interactive was seen as most useful. People liked the fact that it led to discussions instead of just 'sending' information. The aim was to start a conversation about this and it made people think about D&I in a different way and be more aware of it”

"Every conversation was approached with trust and insightfulness, which made me feel welcomed, seen and safe to show up as my full self : a true rarity in today's increasingly pressurised professional space"

"Working with Fairspace has been highly valuable for us as a company. From the start they have been incredibly thorough, professional and approachable, and of course very knowledgeable. They really took the time to get to know our company’s culture and areas where we needed to improve. We started collaborating well before the pandemic and increased attention to oppression of BIPOC. Eve and Laura were very agile in adapting the course material to both a virtual format and tailoring it to focus on racial injustice. In our case we sought to make these accessible, more entry-level workshops and Fairspace was very successful in fulfilling that. We have had very positive feedback from colleagues who have participated!"

"Laura created a safe and engaging space for critical reflection. She introduced us to the main concepts related to diversity and inclusion and invited us to reflect on different sources of power. This was very helpful for our group of participants to get everyone on the same page before taking the conversations to a deeper level. We appreciated her engaging way of using different online co-creation boards and valued her stimulation when we got stuck in an exercise. After the training with Fairspace, as a team we kept working with the materials provided. As a next step, outcomes from the exercises will be integrated in our strategic plan. Examples that we have identified as ‘bright stars’ that deserve more attention in our ways of working are inclusive hiring processes, communication modifications as well as creating safe spaces for non-conventional issues to flourish in our network."

"In collaboration with Fairspace, we hosted a webinar for our network about inappropriate behavior in the workplace. Laura shared in an accessible way how inappropriate behavior is defined, in which forms it presents itself, but also what you can do about it when you or a colleague is confronted with it. Our participants were very enthusiastic about the stimulating examples and statements and the opportunity to actively participate during the session. We look back on a great collaboration with Fairspace, which is certainly worth repeating!"

“In collaboration with Fairspace, Cordaid organized an online event on “workplace safety”, in which colleagues from all over the world participated. We dove into what it means to have a safe workplace, why it is important for everyone and especially how we can all contribute to making our workplace a safe environment, in which everybody can work free from harassment. The communication and cooperation with Fairspace is smooth and pleasant and we hope to work with Fairspace more often in the future”

“I just wanted to thank you, and especially Sara of course, for the workshop at Steam in September! It was a real success and was very well received. On the day itself and the week after, everyone kept talking about it. The workshop is now often mentioned by management as a nice and successful example, when we tell partners/clients about our newly established CSR policy and the concrete steps we are taking (of which your workshop was one). So thank you for that!”
