Witty Works

Please beware: Certain commonly used, generally accepted language in job ads can get you into legal trouble and generate fines. For example: 'young and dynamic team' Marko Verkic shares in this LinkedIn post (https://lnkd.in/dv6E-cQs) how his company had to pay €4,300 in compensation after a 51-year-old applicant claimed age discrimination due to a reference to a "young and dynamic team." Despite the position not being filled, the court ruled against the company. And here the legal abstract of the original case already in 2016 (in German only): https://lnkd.in/dtJcgdHW As one commenter noted, “Witty Works could have prevented this. Still, it’s a ridiculous ruling.” Another added, “Wow, this is a harsh reminder of how important every word in job ads can be. Terms like ‘young team’ can quickly become a legal issue in our regulatory environment—even without bad intentions. An expensive but valuable lesson many of us can learn from.” We do believe Marko Verkic that there was no bad intention behind the original wording, and understand his frustration. Still, it is a cautionary tale for businesses, emphasizing the legal risks of careless wording in job ads. This highlights that words matter—not just for attracting talent but also for avoiding costly legal consequences. With Witty you can make sure that such errors don't happen to you. So you don't get a costly fine. #AntiDiscrimination #InclusiveLanguage #Inclusion #Ageism

Fully energized from achievements in 2024, what is our roadmap of 2025? 🚀 As we look forward to the new year, we’re excited to share what’s next for Witty and what we’re working toward in 2025: 🤖Bringing Witty GPT to more customers: We aim to integrate Witty GPT into your existing LLM tools, making it easier to ensure bias-free and inclusive AI outputs where you write. 🍧Smoother sentence rephrasing: Adapting alternatives to fit into your text can be time-consuming. In 2025, Witty will rephrase entire sentences for you—starting with French in Microsoft Word and expanding to all languages and integrations. 🤩Building a Witty Add-In for Outlook: Since many of you use Outlook daily, we’re working to bring Witty directly into your emails, just like we’ve done for Microsoft Word. 🇪🇸🇮🇹New languages: Italian and Spanish are on our roadmap. Italian, as one of Switzerland’s national languages, is particularly relevant for public offices, and Spanish has been on the wishlist for a while. 📊Introducing benchmarks: We want to help you measure your progress. Wouldn't it be nice to compare your use of inclusive language to industry-wide benchmarks? For example: What are the top 3 non-inclusive words across all Witty users? How do you compare? That's one of our goals for 2025. We can also change our minds! What would you like to see on our roadmap for 2025? #InclusiveLanguage #DEIAnalytics #2025 #NewYear #NewRoadmap

Happy New Year to everyone!! May 2025 bring joy, luck, success and happiness. I am sure we're all in need for it in a world that is so volatile and experiencing sad backlashes. Nonetheless, let's keep pushing for a more inclusive world together. To get energized, we look at our achievements of 2024 before we check out our roadmap for 2025. Here they are: This year brought some wonderful recognitions: 🏆One of our highlights was winning the Microsoft Entrepreneurship for Positive Impact Award, celebrated with a pitch of Witty on the the Eiffel Tower. 🚀Since July, we're part of the LVMH accelerator from La Maison des Startups. During VivaTech 2024, Witty was selected as one of 18 finalists for the LVMH Innovation Award, chosen from 1,545 startups worldwide. 🇫🇷We were thrilled to win the the French HR Award, where we earned third place. 🔌Finally, we won the Transformation Award of Manpower. 🤝Alongside these milestones, we welcomed new global clients and supported existing ones as they expanded Witty across their teams. Your trust and collaboration mean a lot to us—thank you! On the product side, Witty made big steps forward: 🎉Witty is now available as an Add-In for Microsoft Word, making it easier to use right where you work. 🇫🇷We launched French, opening new doors for multilingual businesses and the French market. 🤖In Q4, we introduced Witty GPT, which works with tools like Microsoft Copilot to check AI-generated responses for bias and guide them toward inclusive language. What were your achievements of 2024? What are you proud of? Even fails count since we can also be proud that we learnt something out of an error. 😉 #2024 #NewYear #DiversityEquityInclusion #InclusiveOrganizations
