Few people embody kindness and respect for others as well as Joelle and Sebastien, and we had the chance to meet them. We had identified issues of sexual harassment and racism within our organization with strong psychosocial risks. We were looking for a training provider capable of delivering theoretical information enriched with practical scenarios to have a real impact on our employees. Our stated objectives: beyond fulfilling our prevention obligation, ensuring that employees remember the training and transition from passive witnesses to active witnesses. It seemed necessary to us to train all our employees, whether they were on permanent contracts or temporary contracts.

All the providers we contacted offered a one-day, 7-hour training, with exclusively theoretical content delivered by a psychologist in the form of a lecture.

Only REZALLIANCE was able to meet all our expectations by offering: a customized training action in a short format, co-construction with future trainees, HR, and Joelle, concrete cases related to our activity, and the creation of role-playing scenarios with Joelle and Sebastien.

We were also supported in internal communication before and after the training. The success of the training sessions was such that some employees asked when their turn would come. The objective has therefore been widely achieved, and we will take advantage of the feedback from these sessions with Joelle and Sebastien to improve the next ones.

The advantages of REZALLIANCE lie in their adaptability, high professionalism, and the availability of the REZ-CARE platform for listening and support if employees need it. REZALLIANCE is a real asset in the prevention of psychosocial risks.

As part of the AccEnt Day, which takes place twice a year, we wanted to offer a plenary session dedicated to personal reflection on our relationship with otherness and differences, in order to raise awareness of our professional stance and contribute to an inclusive and supportive work environment.

Joëlle Payom’s intervention made the effects of discrimination more tangible, introduced a reflection on differences, and reminded participants of certain points, whether well-known or less familiar. It also gave each individual the opportunity to position themselves personally and become aware of their own preconceived notions or unconscious thought patterns. Finally, she opened the floor to discussion and encouraged the continuation of exchanges beyond the session itself.

The goal was to provide a perspective, a challenge, and a space for questioning around issues of discrimination. This objective was fully achieved.

Joëlle Payom’s presentation stood out for her exceptional energy and her ability to capture attention with impactful “punch lines.” She managed to positively challenge the audience and maintain their engagement, which was particularly remarkable in the afternoon, following a meal and a dense, but less interactive, morning.

Thank you again for your intervention, your commitment, and the energy you brought to the group, which fostered meaningful reflection and sparked enriching exchanges.

We initially contacted Joëlle for workshops on sexual consent that we wanted to implement at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva.

Our goal was to make it mandatory for everyone and create a culture of consent where everyone feels welcomed, comfortable, with the appropriate support mechanisms to address any uncomfortable situations that may arise.

Joëlle was able to assist us; she was responsive, motivated, and very understanding. We were looking for someone who had a deep understanding of the subject, was receptive to our needs, and knew how to communicate effectively with young people, and she managed to meet all our expectations by sharing in advance what she had prepared, taking our feedback into account, and adapting the content to make it accessible to the different target groups. Joëlle stands out particularly for her great availability, responsiveness, progressive mindset, her ability to deliver what was requested, and her presence, which is both soothing and strong.”

« La diversité est un fait ».

“Diversity is a fact. Inclusion is a choice.”

A big thank you to Joëlle Payom for dedicating an hour of your time (not counting the preparation!) to raise awareness among #UBS employees about harassment and discrimination issues.

Your insights into the causes, manifestations, and challenges of these problems are a first step for each of us to be able to identify such situations (which is sometimes not so obvious!) and openly discuss them (certainly even less obvious!)

Understanding the mechanisms of different forms of harassment & discrimination indeed helps promote inclusion in the workplace.
