🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A digital documentation tool for employees to log dates, times, and witnesses of workplace harassment for HR records.
- A peer-to-peer mediation platform that facilitates neutral third-party conflict resolution in office settings.
- A corporate training module template focused on identifying and mitigating 'toxic office culture' and malicious gossip.
