‘Call It’ App to Report Bullying & Harassment
Recently launched in beta mode, “Call It!” asks the staff of companies and productions that sign up to the initiative three questions every day for the duration of a project, the main one being “How were you treated at work today?” A traffic light system gives users three options to answer, with green indicating they were treated well, orange for “okay” and red for those who felt they were treated badly.
The app is entirely anonymous, and there’s no place for specific feedback that may identify the user. Those who wish to elevate complaints of bullying and harassment can access, through the app, their workplace’s “Dignity at Work” policies and procedures for formal reporting.
If a producer or production clocks a mass of red buttons in one day, the ideal scenario would see them immediately take steps to check in with staff. Companies and productions can also opt in to have a third party overseeing their staff welfare checks, for a further level of accountability.
