So. Farewell then. Dominic Raab. The Justice Secretary might be gone but the debate about office behaviour rumbles on. And, with exquisite timing, Mr S spotted that one government department is doing its own bit for Whitehall workplaces by today publishing details of a £140,000 contract for IT services for a new ‘Bullying harassment and discrimination reporting platform’ for civil servants.
The new service will allow staff to anonymously report incidents and is going to be run by Culture Shift, a company which promises to give ‘organisations the insight they need to monitor and prevent bullying and harassment in educational institutions and workplaces.’ It claims to enable organisations to take a ‘proactive and preventative approach to protecting their culture.’ So where better than the great ministries of SW1?
And it seems that Culture Shift’s Chief Executive Gemma McCall is certainly not a fan of Dominic Raab, from a cursory glance of her Twitter account. On the same day that her company’s government contract was published, McCall took to Twitter to declare that ‘Great leaders should and can inspire and motivate their team to achieve success without resorting to bullying, shouting or intimidation. Bullying is never ok #DominicRaab.’ Among her recent posts includes a promotion for a forthcoming talk by her on ‘Managing the growing influence of activism on people strategies’.
Ideal watching for all those ‘activist civil servants’, eh Dom?
