After entrepreneur Claire Schmidt read former Uber employee Susan Fowler’s powerful 2017 blog about her negative experience at the ride sharing company, Schmidt founded AllVoices, a workplace reporting and feedback platform. She saw the need for a safe space where employees can anonymously report issues they are having without fear of repercussions.
“The process that people who experience difficult things in the workplace should follow basically involves very vulnerable people having to come forward and hope for the best,” Schmidt says. “They have to hope they don’t face retaliation, and hope that HR handles things the right way.”
