A dynamic collaboration united to transform a comprehensive solution that combines safe and secure reporting with unbiased, third-party investigative services to resolve workplace harassment and discrimination issues.
Government and media are divisive forces in society fueling a cycle of distrust. The resulting expectation is holding organizations accountable to work together to foster innovation and drive impact (Edelman 2022 Trust Barometer).
Studies from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found that fear of retaliation was the main reason that employees do not report misconduct.
RESOLVE is committed to challenging workplace toxicity and misconduct and empowering employees’ voices to be heard to ensure an inclusive and equal workforce environment for all. Created in partnership between Work Shield, EthOs and Lou Raiola, RESOLVE is a purpose-driven movement to challenge workplace misconduct and ensure an inclusive and equitable workplace for all.
RESOLVE combines a safe and secure reporting platform with legal professionals who investigate every report and work in partnership with organizations to establish a clear path to resolving workplace harassment and discrimination issues.
RESOLVE’s platform provides organizations and their members with resources to preserve, protect and improve the cultural health of a company.
The platform offers real-time, customizable data and analytics for tracking trends and patterns, intelligent reporting to improve identification of incidents, and an easy-to-use interface for a streamlined user experience.
RESOLVE allows leaders to understand the trends and patterns within their organization, identify potential problem areas, including inappropriate behavior patterns, incident trends and more, providing a comprehensive snapshot of an organization’s cultural health, including in-depth insight into all harassment, discrimination and misconduct issues.
Historically, sports have been a beacon of hope uniting communities, countries, and the world. Sports unite people, organizations and communities.
The Green Sports Alliance is the environmentally-focused trade organization that convenes stakeholders from around the sporting world (teams, leagues, conferences, venues, corporate partners, governmental agencies, athletes, and fans) to promote healthy, sustainable communities where we live and play. GSA was formed to leverage the cultural and market influence of sports to promote healthy, sustainable communities where we live and play.
BSI enables people and organizations to perform better by sharing knowledge, innovation and best practices to make excellence a habit – all over the world, every day.
RESOLVE, sparked by the vision of cause marketing pioneer–Lou Raiola, has been developed by Work Shield. As a champion of social change through sports, entertainment, and pop culture, Raiola has catalyzed a dynamic collaborative uniting efforts with workplace organizational engagement leader EthOs and leading misconduct solutions provider, Work Shield.
