“I’m a chairman of a company with over 3,000 employees. Some of those employees have children that are being bullied. If families are hurting, your employees are not able to work to their full capability. It is a necessary service to your employees to be a part of the solution.”
— Steve Sarowitz, Founder of Paylocity, Film Producer, Humanitarian

A MESSAGE FROM OUR YOUTH
Bullying is not just a phase; it is a pervasive issue that affects millions of young people worldwide, often with devastating consequences. The long-term psychological effects include anxiety, depression and suicide ideation. Our youth are facing an unprecedented mental health crisis, and bullying is a significant factor. As a CEO, you have the power to influence and the capacity to act. Your leadership extends beyond your company, and into your communities. You are in a unique position to help create safe spaces for the next generation of leaders to learn, grow, and thrive. Humanity Rising is on a mission to address bullying by calling on the leaders of today to support the change-makers of tomorrow.
Joining the CEO RiseUp Challenge enables you to support students who are striving to break the cycle of bullying and enhance the mental health and overall well-being of our youth. Partner with us and help students foster respect and inclusivity in their communities, and become their best selves.
It’s not just youth who are bullied, workplace bullying is real and adversely affects employee retention and morale. It’s clear that CEOs and company leadership can make a significant difference. We want to help you set a tone of safety & respect where employees see each other’s common humanity and create cultures of kindness and respect for all.
Thank you for supporting our mission to create a more compassionate and unified world.
