Taylor HoltConsulting services provided by https://www.rainn.org/ help a wide variety of client organizations, including government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, police departments, law firms, universities, and boarding schools, improve their sexual harassment and misconduct awareness and prevention initiatives. Customers of RAINN include the US government, FEMA, Girl’s Inc., Uber, McDonald’s, Royal Caribbean Inc., and Massage Envy.
Every training we provide is modified to meet the requirements of the business. According to Clara Kim RAINN, head of consulting services, “we come in and meet them wherever they are in the process.” We teach them how to deal with this problem in a way that prioritizes victims, takes trauma into account, and is fair and equitable. We build on those.
The ultimate goal of the consulting team is to help firms go above and beyond compliance. Thus they help with reviewing current policies and codes of conduct, conducting program evaluations, facilitating training, and improving reporting and response systems.
Frequently, lawyers take the lead in these discussions because they focus on ways to limit their clients’ legal exposure. Despite the importance of that viewpoint, Kim argues that it must be tempered by an awareness of the interpersonal impact we can have. Our work contributes to the development of caring neighborhoods.
A rise in reporting sexual harassment and misconduct within a business is a surprising gauge of early success. When there is more reporting, community members believe they can report incidents without fear of retaliation. Getting people to trust you again in the workplace and the neighborhood is essential. There can be no resolution to a problem in an organization if its leaders are unaware of its existence.
Each person’s family and community benefit from their preventative and response strategies education. Thus the good done here goes far beyond any single organization. Each person RAINN educates about bystander intervention, how to speak with a survivor, or the effects of trauma on the brain will carry that knowledge into all aspects of their lives. Kim argues that when people are given “actionable skills and better understanding,” they spread that positivity throughout their communities.
