Five years ago, after a painful yet all-too-common experience in the workplace, I decided to create the solution I wished had existed for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few of us believed that another model was possible \u2014 a world of work where performance would not come at the expense of humanity, where respect would not be optional, and where inclusion would mean more than just words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rezalliance was founded on 10.10.2020<\/strong>, built on the trust and commitment of professionals determined to unite their expertise \u2014 in law, mental health, and coaching \u2014 to protect the most precious asset in any workplace: people<\/strong>, in all their diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Five years of projects, partnerships, faces, and stories. As I reflect, I\u2019ve distilled 10 key lessons<\/strong> \u2014 not absolute truths, but guiding insights shaped by lived experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n P.s: For deeper insights on each subject, you\u2019ll find links to some of published columns in Le Temps<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Listening goes beyond hearing victims or witnesses of workplace harassment \u2014 it means understanding the needs of organizations, teams, and even those resistant to change. Only by grasping their fears and constraints can we build solutions that move everyone forward. \ud83c\udf10 In 2022,<\/em> the Rez-Care<\/a> platform was launched \u2014 offering a reporting tool, a hotline, and comprehensive support for individuals and organizations seeking constructive ways forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Policies and internal guidelines set the tone, but real transformation happens through actions<\/strong>. With nearly 1,000 people trained in the past three years, I\u2019ve seen how our \u201cEmergences\u201d workshops shake things up \u2014 they challenge, awaken, and transform. Saying no is a form of self-respect. Change doesn\u2019t come from slogans or good intentions, but from commitment. Trust and authenticity matter more than promises. Creating fairer, healthier workplaces takes collective energy, not solitary effort. Change always begins with one courageous voice\u2014one that dares to say YES to deep transformation, while others settle for symbolic or image-driven gestures. Numbers don\u2019t tell the full story \u2014 but they reveal the truth we need to face. In our personal and professional paths, rejection often feels like failure. Yet it\u2019s also an opportunity to rediscover our potential. Sometimes life redirects us\u2014not to stop us, but to push us forward. \ud83e\udde1 These lessons are the fruit of encounters, collaborations, and conversations. To our first 60 members who said YES in 2020. These first five years have been a living laboratory of transformation\u2014of others, but also our own. Like a butterfly, our organization has gone through several metamorphoses, and the next five years will focus on transmission<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll share what we\u2019ve built, tested, and proven in the field\u2014our methods, tools, and insights\u2014with those ready to take action within their own organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among these tools, the Workplace Harassment Baroscope<\/a><\/strong> plays a key role. It helps organizations assess their relational climate and prevent harmful behaviors over the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our new Corporate Harassment Liaison (RHE) Training<\/a><\/strong> will further spread the Rezalliance approach \u2014 expanding our impact to create truly human-centered workplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2728 The best is yet to come.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Jo\u00eblle Payom<\/a><\/strong>, \ud83d\udccb Experiencing harassment at work?
