1. What interested you about People First RH? People First RH is focusing on addressing a need that many employers have in the modern workplace. By providing a more advanced platform for reporting and resolution of complaints in the workplace, People First gives human resources personnel and legal counsel the tools and information needed to permit expeditious and effective resolution of workplace issues.

2. What is the impact you see People First having in the workplace? From my perspective as outside investigative and litigation counsel to a range of employers, People First enables employers to mitigate the risk of legal exposure by providing a path forward to prompt and internal resolution of legal matters.

3. In your opinion, what is the biggest challenge/obstacle to a zero harassment workplace? We have already seen sweeping changes in the law on the heels of headlining cases of egregious harassment in the last decade. With the continued evolution of the legal landscape, together with shifting demographics in the workplace, employers will increasingly find the maintenance of a harassment-free workplace a business necessity.

Lauren joins Gabriella Dickens, our co-founder in supporting People First’s vision of a harassment-free workplace for all.
