Workplace Retaliation Risk Assessment

‍

Am I being Retaliated Against at Work?

Something changed.
‍
The tone.
The access.
The feedback.
The scrutiny.

If you recently reported misconduct, requested an accommodation, raised compliance concerns, or participated in an internal investigation — and the workplace dynamic shifted afterward — this assessment helps you evaluate whether the situation reflects recognized retaliation patterns.
‍

This 10-question survey is based on commonly recognized retaliation markers, including:
‍

✅ Protected activity
‍
✅ Timing proximity
‍
✅ Performance shifts
‍
✅ Increased scrutiny
‍
✅ Role diminishment
‍
✅ Disciplinary escalation
‍

⏱️ Estimated completion time: 5 minutes.
