Google has unveiled another round of policy changes to address employee concerns about misconduct and workplace harassment at the world’s largest internet search company. Google has announced a dedicated website to make it easier for workers to report harassment.

Google is making it easier for employees to file harassment and discrimination complaints by setting up a dedicated site for them to do so. Melonie Parker, the company’s chief diversity officer, wrote in a letter to employees, “We’ve simplified and clarified the way employees can raise concerns by bringing multiple channels together on a new dedicated site.” She said the new site will be providing employees with a much simpler, clearer way for them to raise concerns. It is setting up a similar site for its vendors and temporary workforce, which should be ready in June.

Google is also publicly releasing its policy on harassment and other workplace misconduct issues. The 13-page document has details as to what qualifies as harassment and discrimination and how Google would investigate those issues.

The announcement follows new criticism inside at the company. Earlier this week, two prominent employees who helped organize the walkout said they have faced retaliation from the company. Google has disputed that changes in work assignments were acts of retaliation.

“A big part of my job is to listen to ideas that Googlers have and take feedback on ways we can improve our workplace,” chief diversity officer Melonie Parker said in the blog post today. “We won’t implement every idea that our employees (or the outside world) raise, but we always listen, and we consider constructive feedback.”
