Abstract
A method and system for victim notification functions by receiving a report from an accuser regarding conduct of an accused that is believed to constitute harassment, bullying and/or discrimination, the reporting being composed of structured data. The severity of conduct in the report is scored and ranked and the pervasiveness of conduct in the report is scored and ranked by comparing the reported conduct against prior reports regarding the accused. Other reports by the accuser are also analyzed.
Claims17
An incident notification apparatus, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to execute a plurality of processing instructions stored in the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor executes instructions to:
- obtain, via the at least one processor, a workplace misconduct report by an accuser regarding inappropriate or unlawful conduct by an accused, the report comprising structured data related to the conduct;
- parse, via the at least one processor, the structured data related to the conduct to determine a set of key points regarding the conduct;
- analyze, via the at least one processor, the determined set of key points to categorize the conduct associated with the report as (1) a first category relating to behaviors or instances occurring on multiple occasions over time, (2) a second category relating to behavior or instance reported by multiple accusers, or (3) a third category relating to behavior or instance which occurs only on one occasion;
- and
- present, via the at least one processor, a report dashboard, the report dashboard including a score indicator for the report, wherein the color of the score indicator corresponds to the category associated with the report.
An incident notification processor-readable non-transitory physical medium storing processor-executable instructions to:
- obtain, via the at least one processor, a workplace misconduct report by an accuser regarding inappropriate or unlawful conduct by an accused, the report comprising structured data related to the conduct;
- parse, via the at least one processor, the structured data related to the conduct to determine a set of key points regarding the conduct;
- analyze, via the at least one processor, the determined set of key points to categorize the conduct associated with the report as (1) a first category relating to behaviors or instances occurring on multiple occasions over time, (2) a second category relating to behavior or instance reported by multiple accusers, or (3) a third category relating to behavior or instance which occurs only on one occasion;
- and
- present, via the at least one processor, a report dashboard, the report dashboard including a score indicator for the report, wherein the color of the score indicator corresponds to the category associated with the report.
A processor-implemented incident notification method comprising executing processor-executable instructions to:
- obtain, via the at least one processor, a workplace misconduct report by an accuser regarding inappropriate or unlawful conduct by an accused, the report comprising structured data related to the conduct;
- parse, via the at least one processor, the structured data related to the conduct to determine a set of key points regarding the conduct;
- analyze, via the at least one processor, the determined set of key points to categorize the conduct associated with the report as (1) a first category relating to behaviors or instances occurring on multiple occasions over time, (2) a second category relating to behavior or instance reported by multiple accusers, or (3) a third category relating to behavior or instance which occurs only on one occasion;
- and
- present, via the at least one processor, a report dashboard, the report dashboard including a score indicator for the report, wherein the color of the score indicator corresponds to the category associated with the report.
