NEW YORK, Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Traliant, an innovator in online compliance training solutions, today announced its second annual State of Workplace Harassment Report. The 2026 study, compiled from a survey of over 2,000 full-time employees in the US, assesses how harassment is experienced, perceived, and addressed in today’s organizations. Notably, one in three employees (33%) surveyed said they would only report harassment if they could do so anonymously.
The modern workplace has changed dramatically over the past decade, shaped by hybrid and remote work, increased mobility, and a new generation of workers. Yet despite these forward changes, harassment has remained an ever-present reality in the workplace, driving turnover, eroding trust and productivity, and exposing organizations to reputational and legal consequences.
