Hi there, I'm Ed Butler and welcome to Business Daily from the BBC.

Today, in our second show, looking at the legacy of the Me Too movement on workplace culture,

we're asking if companies can be trusted to track down sexual predators.

Tate or make a calculated bet in terms of how likely is the individual, the victim, to make a case and how likely is it

that this can be brushed under the carpet. And they make that evaluation in every single

scenario when a grievance is raised. We also ask whether new mobile phone apps could provide

part of the answer for victims of sexual harassment. We really wanted to completely reimagine the way reporting is done.

To leverage not only technology, but also behavioral psychology, in a way that truly empowers people to speak up.

That's all to come in Business Daily from the BBC.

Well, if you listened to our show yesterday, you will have heard the former Fox News anchor,

one of the pioneers of the Me Too movement, Gretchen Carson,

describing her experiences and her campaign to see change on workplace harassment.

You watch your career disappear in front of your eyes as you become lesser and

lesser and lesser. And they take away plum assignments from you and they suddenly give you a bad

performance review and you're suddenly ostracized from, you know, the in-group. It's a way of trying to

make your life so much like hell that you'll leave, right? Why do we do this to people?

Why do we think that's okay when they simply have had the courage to come forward?

Gretchen Carson is fighting for legislative and cultural change in companies to see problems address,

but just how widespread are they in the modern workplace? Obviously,

that will depend where you live. But even in firms describing themselves as liberal-minded

in rich world countries, surveys suggest that at least 75% of workers are unwilling

formally to report a sexual harasser, especially if they're a senior manager.
