Organisational responsibility in the digital age
In our hyper-connected world, the boundaries between our online and offline lives are blurring. But as we embrace this digital age, are organisations doing enough to safeguard their teams? In our thought-provoking 'Eggshell' conversation with digital empowerment expert Yasmin London we explored the role of organisational responsibility in the digital landscape.
First things first, have you ever considered the impact of the online world on your team's well-being? Yasmin shares a startling insight: "96% of deepfakes are pornographic in nature and 99% include women." It's clear that the digital realm is not just a playground but also a battleground, especially for women. How is your organisation addressing this?
But it's not just about deepfakes. The online disinhibition effect, as Yasmin explains, is where "people are more willing to say or do things online that they would never do in a face-to-face situation." This can lead to a toxic online environment that spills over into the workplace. Are you fostering digital resilience among your team to navigate these challenges?
Now, here's the million-pound question: What is your organisation doing to support employees facing online abuse, even if it happens outside of work? Yasmin emphasises the importance of creating safe spaces for conversations and providing resources for online safety. "It's not just about responsibility," she says, "it's about doing what's right."
So, let's reflect. Is your organisation proactive in educating and protecting your team in the digital world? Are you fostering an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and empowered, both online and offline?
We'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this crucial topic. Let's keep the conversation going and work together to make the digital age a safer and more inclusive space for all.
