Cause and effect is a simple yet invaluable concept that is learned at a very young age. If you touch the stove, Then you will get burned. If you don’t eat, Then you will get hungry. As we mature, this set of causal relationships is engrained in our behavior. We become hardwired to avoid negative consequences.

Technology Worth Implementing
Compliance. Engagement. Insight. The Woices App provides companies with all of these. So let’s ask the question - is it worth it?
In today’s modern business, technology is advancing at a breakneck pace that leave many scratching their heads. The question becomes what technologies are worth the investment?

Woices: The Missing Link in Reporting Workplace Harassment
A nationwide survey launched by Stop Street Harassment to understand why the #MeToomovement gained so much traction has revealed that 81% of women and 43% of men in the United States have experienced some form of sexual harassment in their lives. Approximately 26% of these sexual harassment cases occurred in the victim’s workplace.

Small Businesses and Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment can happen anywhere. Whether you’re a Fortune 500 company with thousands of employees or a small startup sharing a co-working space, sexual harassment can and does happen. So what do you do when it happens? For small companies, this answer isn’t always clear, which can encourage a culture of staying silent.

Successful companies encourage employee engagement at every level. Think innovation and the brightest ideas come only from top level executives? Think again!

Happier Employee = Greater Productivity
33% - We spend about a third of our lives at work! Let that sink in. It’s no longer a secret. Having a positive work culture directly influences employees in a positive way. Happy employees are much more likely to give it their best at work (think productivity).
