Future-focused leaders protect workplace culture

Strategic, forward-thinking organisations protect and retain their people and attract top talent by safeguarding their culture. Granat helps you uncover hidden risks, take proactive steps, and build a workplace where everyone feels safe and valued. Instead of reacting to issues like bullying or harassment after they arise, we help you spot risks and quickly address. Creating a culture of safety and respect lets you protect your people, strengthen your reputation, and attract top talent.

For the next generation of talent, workplace culture is the #1 drawcard

Research shows culture is the top priority for young people when choosing a workplace. By 2030, this new generation will make up 40% of the workforce, making workplace culture and reputation critical for employers who want to win the battle for top talent.

Businesses succeed when their people feel valued, respected, and empowered to do their best

But unwanted behaviours like bullying, sexual harassment, or racial harassment can creep into any team environment. When that happens, so too does absenteeism, lost productivity, staff turnover, and significant resources being spent managing incidents. Beyond the financial and reputational toll, the personal and emotional impact on your people is profound. Managing these risks isn’t just the right thing to do: it’s also about mitigating serious health and safety breaches.

Data-Driven Insights

People Metrics

Global Best Practice

Our approach is based on international best practices and known indicators, and refined through real-world application.

Is your organisation in the high-risk category?

Risks of harassment are higher in organisations with:

power and gender imbalances
younger and less diverse workforces
high pressure and emotional jobs

What is your organisation's risk profile?

Does your organisation safeguard against known risks?

How does your organisation stack up against best practice:

Do your leaders know the risks and their duties?
Are formalised governance and assurance processes in place?
Does your organisation monitor harassment levels and responses?
Has your organisation set clear expectations of acceptable behaviour?
Does your organisation have effective processes to manage incidents?

If challenged, can your organisation provide evidence of the steps to mitigate harassment risks under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015?

OUR ORGANISATION

We care deeply about people's safety and wellbeing.

As evaluators and risk managers, we are often brought in ‘after the fact’ when bullying and harassment have taken hold, and organisations are in reaction mode. We know more can be done to prevent the personal harm to your people and reputation consequences to businesses.

We built our tool based on known indicators of bullying and harassment and followed international good practice standards. We then tested it, refined it, and launched it. The rest is history.
