Rezalliance responds to a corporate and social issue: harassment in the workplace, a danger to health and the economy.
Joëlle Payom, founder of Rezalliance – 24.05.2023
Speech delivered on the 1st anniversary of the International Day Against Harassment and for Inclusion in the World of Work.
The various forms of harassment and discrimination are weapons of mass destruction, causing trauma on an individual, organizational and societal scale. In order to heal, it is necessary to undertake in-depth work on oneself, which begins with expressing one’s truth, making one’s voice heard, acknowledging the damage suffered, and evacuating feelings of guilt and shame, thus enabling one to change perspective and see oneself as a survivor, rather than a victim.
We are not all equipped to cope with this often long, tedious and painful process of reconstruction. Individual resilience depends on many factors, which can be lacking when we need them most. That’s why I created Rezalliance: a lifeline to lean on as we weather the storm that threatens to engulf those targeted by harassment in the workplace.
