Our Method →

At the Purple Method, we start by seeking to understand your company’s unique mission, values, and objectives — and where you are on your own anti-harassment journey. Our holistic approach utilizes the four pillars described below to take a comprehensive look at your workplace.

REDUCE

We believe the best way to create and maintain a harassment-free workplace is to prevent issues from occurring in the first place. That’s why the first pillar of our framework focuses on helping organizations take a proactive approach to creating safe and inclusive workplaces. That means: (1) fostering an environment where employees feel comfortable voicing concerns and (2) effectively training employees on your unique policies to create shared norms and expectations.

RESPOND

We know that even the best preventative measures don’t stop all problems from occurring. That’s why the second pillar of our framework helps employers respond appropriately and effectively when misconduct still takes place. That means: (1) breaking down barriers to internal reporting, (2) implementing thorough investigation processes, and (3) taking fair and proportionate corrective action that holds people accountable.

RETHINK

We understand that organizations that prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace also have fewer incidents of harassment and discrimination. That’s why the third pillar of our framework zooms out to assess an organization’s commitment to addressing systemic inequality. That means: (1) understanding the intersectional nature of workplace harassment and (2) establishing programs and policies that allow employees to bring their whole selves to work.

REBUILD

We are deeply aware of the negative effects sexual harassment can have on individual well-being and organizational health. That’s why the fourth pillar of our framework exists to create a world in which employees around the globe can come to work every day knowing that they are safe and valued. That means centering their experiences to implement anti-harassment solutions that actually work. Together, we can build safer workplaces everywhere, one organization at a time.

It Matters →

Workplace harassment negatively impacts culture, morale, employee performance, and employee health. Having robust anti-harassment policies and effective trainings will improve employee understanding of what conduct is unacceptable in the workplace. But not just any fix will do. The #MeToo movement has demonstrated that traditional training approaches have been largely ineffective at rooting out the problem. With the method presented above, we transform your policies, practices, and training to create truly equal and empowered workplaces.
