*TRIGGER WARNING: Contains references to assault that some listeners may find distressing*Welcome back to the first episode of HR Insights: The Podcast after our mid-season break! We are very excited to start this new year with a very important topic. Amid increasing cases of workplace violence, safety at work has never been more paramount. This week, our CEO and host, Stuart Elliott sits down with Social Entrepreneur and CEO of ROAR, Yasmine Mustafa. ROAR have developed unique wearable technology in the form of a panic button to ensure safety, improve well-being and increase job satisfaction across all industries. Yasmine and Stuart discuss ROAR's inception and how the Panic Button Solution functions to foster a culture of safety within workplaces, particularly those experiencing a rise in violence and incivility such as healthcare, hospitality and retail industries. Yasmine also talks through the consequences of neglecting to protect workers and HR's role in ensuring solutions are put in place to prevent this. From astonishing data, she shows how the adoption of ROAR into a business can result in an immediate shift in staff's morale and perception of safety, with a newfound ‘shield' that not only protects their wellbeing, but improves productivity. With over 15 years of leadership experience in the tech industry, including the successful sale of her first company, 123LinkIt in 2009, Yasmine is a driving force for positive change and balancing profits with purpose. A former refugee and undocumented immigrant, she draws upon her unique life experiences to lead ROAR in its mission to empower and protect workers across all industries. Her journey is a testament to her resilience and unwavering commitment. Yasmine has earned recognition from the BBC where she was named one of the Top 100 women, CNBC's Upstart 100 and has spoken on prestigious platforms such as TEDx where she has shared her deep passion for positive change through harnessing technology. Key Timestamps:01:15 – Intro to Yasmine Mustafa03:20 – How ROAR manifested itself07:28 – How the panic button works 11:20 – What is causing the rise in violence and incivility in the workplace?15:13 – The tangible and intangible consequences of not protecting a worker18:28 – The role of HR in enhancing workplace safety22:15 – Yasmine's top recommendation to HR professionals for fostering a safe working environment25:05 – The financial benefits of adopting ROAR into an organisation You can listen to and download HR Insights from Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify and most popular podcast apps, subscribe so the latest episodes are directly available!

Workplace violence is unique in that it's a hazard any industry is subject to. Certain employee groups are particularly at risk in today's workforce: those who serve customers or patients, handle a lot of cash, or are undocumented. Learn what an employer's role is in protecting these vulnerable groups with Yasmine Mustafa, co-founder and CEO of Roar, and workplace violence prevention expert Kimberly Urbanek.

From bullying and harassment to physical altercations and cyber threats, workplace violence takes various forms and affects diverse industries. Yasmine Mustafa shares their personal journey and insights, shedding light on the nuances of workplace violence prevention, the significance of cultivating a culture of respect, and the power of effective communication in diffusing potential conflicts.

In this episode of Finding Contentment, host Will Heckman and special guest Yasmine Mustafa talk about workplace safety and stress. Harassment and assaults against staff are rising. How workers feel impacts their performance, wellness, and liability risk. Same for an organization's attraction, retention, and productivity of employees. People feeling stress about safety in the workplace has recently led to a significant increase in mental health issues. Nearly half of Americans in a Kaiser Family Foundation poll said their mental health took a turn for the worse. And in April 2020, the month after the coronavirus infested the U.S., the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Hotline experienced a 1,000% year-over-year increase. To help relieve some of that stress, many organizations already recognize the value of supporting their workers' mental health through their employee benefits.

Yasmine Mustafa is answering the call to expand her innovations and keep healthcare workers safer, too

In honor of World Refugee Month (June), we bring back this exceptional conversation with Yasmine Mustafa of ROAR for Good from October 2019.  Yasmine Mustafa is a champion social entrepreneur, refugee, and immigrant living in the United States. Her own personal experience drove her to build a company that uses technology and focuses on personal safety.  Yasmine founded ROAR for Good, a mission-driven technology company dedicated to cultivating a safer workplace. Their vision to empower people with technology inspired them to launch their latest product, Always On – an indoor location tracking safety device. Prior to launching ROAR for Good, Yasmine founded and sold her first company, Girl Develop It - Philly, to a prominent marketing firm in Silicon Valley. In this episode, Yasmine speaks about her passion for leveraging technology for social good, the journey in creating their first prototype safety device with her team, and the reason for their shift from consumer-based to business-based market. Yasmine also shares how a non-tech person like herself built a successful and revolutionary technology company. ⭐ SPONSORED BY:  Saybrook University   -- --

Yasmine is the CEO and Founder of ROAR for Good. She joined Andrew to discuss how her business creates a safe place for women in the workplace.   

In part one of my conversation with Yasmine Mustafa, the co-founder and CEO of ROAR for Good, she talked about the inspiration behind her company and their product, AlwaysOn, a wearable tracking device that enables hotel staff to alert security. In this second part of our conversation, Yasmine tells how she took that leap from having an idea to actually quitting her job and starting her own company—and she shares some important insights on how she continued to develop her client relationships in one of the most challenging markets in the past hundred years.

When people think of dangerous professions, it's usually police officers, firefighters, EMTs and other first responders that come to mind. But hotel housekeepers are especially prone to unsafe conditions, their jobs requiring them to enter private rooms with total strangers. According to a 2016 survey, fifty-eight percent of housekeepers have experienced sexual harassment on the job.* That's why Yasmine Mustafa founded ROAR for Good and developed their product, AlwaysOn, a discrete, wearable tracking device that enables hotel staff to alert security. In this episode of UpTech Report, Yasmine walks us through the inspiration behind this device, how they've worked to deploy it in the private sector, and where it could be applied in the future.

The local entrepreneur has found a niche that’s poised to change lives and—finally—turn a profit

Yasmine Mustafa is a social entrepreneur and community leader fueled by a passion to leverage technology for good. She's the CEO of ROAR for Good, a certified B-corp with the mission of utilizing technology and education to create safer workplaces. Before that, she founded and sold her first company to a prominent content marketing firm in Silicon Valley. Yasmine brought Girl Develop It to Philadelphia, a non-profit providing affordable opportunities for women interested in learning software development. In addition, she sits on the board of Coded by Kids, a non-profit organization committed to providing free tech education to inner-city youth. She is a 2x TEDx speaker, discussing challenges she experienced migrating to the United States as a refugee and discovering she was undocumented. Her "Birth Lottery" talk highlights the challenges (and opportunities) inherent in each life. BBC selected Yasmine as one of its 100 Women of 2016 due to her work in empowering women.

Yasmine graduated summa cum laude from Temple University with a Business Management Degree. “I think the learning that I had in terms of ‘treat others the way they want to be treated' versus the way you want to be treated, its helped me so much.

See Full Show Notes here: https://growensemble.com/yasmine-mustafa-roar-for-good/  Yasmine Mustafa drew directly from personal experience when founding ROAR for Good -- an innovative, mission-driven company developing tech to keep women safe in some of the most vulnerable circumstances. The first piece of inspiration was her emotional experience as a refugee who survived the Gulf War and the insecurity of being an undocumented immigrant. “I was constantly in a walking-on-eggshells environment,” she says. “I wasn’t sure if someone was going to find out [my status], and I was wondering if I was being exploited at work. I always had this fear in the back of my mind because of being discovered.” The second piece of inspiration came when she did become an American citizen and took her passport backpacking across South America. Yasmine was shocked to encounter so many fellow travelers who had experienced sexual harassment and sexual assault. Right after she returned home, a friend and neighbor was raped. At that moment, she knew she had to do something. Drawing from her extensive entrepreneurial experience (graduating with a major in entrepreneurship, launching 123LinkIt for bloggers and the Philadelphia chapter of nonprofit Girl Develop It) Yasmine founded ROAR for Good in 2014. The company started as a business-to-consumer platform equipping women with stylish wearables designed to emit a loud alarm in the case of an aggressor, and to message emergency contacts with location information immediately (there’s also a silent alarm option). It has since pivoted to prioritize business-to-business duties, outfitting hotels with wearables for their staff. ROAR for Good's product not only meets a new law requiring hotels to protect their staffers, but it also meets a staggering need for safety in an industry when more than half of employees have experienced sexual harassment. “It’s just horrible what they go through,” Mustafa says. “They open the door never knowing what’s on the other side. Imagine the anguish and mental anxiety.” In this episode, we dive deep into Yasmine's experience as a refugee, as a woman, and as an inspiring social entrepreneur striving to make a difference. We learn more about the origin story of ROAR for Good and what ultimately led them to switch from a business-to-consumer to a business-to-business model, as well insight into entering the technological world with no real "tech" experience, and how she was able to build a successful, revolutionary tech product anyway.

Yasmine Mustafa is the co-founder and CEO of ROAR for Good, an awareness and wearable-tech company that is working to reduce violence against women with their amazing, Athena product. She has one of the most incredible stories we've heard thus far. Yasmine is Palestinean, and spent her childhood in Kuwait, her birthplace. Yasmine visited America for the first time as a young girl. While here, her younger brother was born. A few weeks later, after Yasmine had returned to Kuwait, Saddam Hussein invaded the country and a group of armed men from the US Embassy came to retrieve her family. (Because her brother was born on American soil, he is a citizen) She was undocumented and spoke no English, but loved learning. Listen to learn about the twists and turns her life has taken since then and the extreme resilience Yasmine embodies every day.
