My coworker has been making a lot of inappropriate and offensive comments about race, but I'm afraid that if I report him to HR, he will find out it was me. How can I anonymously report my coworker who is making racist comments to HR without getting caught?

Your best bet is to use the company's anonymous reporting system. Some companies have a hotline or website that you can report discrimination and harassment on in a secure and anonymous way. Make sure that you take detailed notes about when, where and what was said, as well as any witnesses. You can also mention in your report how uncomfortable you are with this happening without intervention. HR will appreciate being made aware of the situation so they can help ensure an environment of inclusion.

You can reach out to HR directly via a phone call, letter, or email and leave a voice mail or attach a document indicating the specific nature of the issue. Be sure to note that this is confidential and you do not wish for anyone else to know you made the complaint. You can also speak to your supervisor about this concern and encourage them to handle it through channels instead of addressing it with your coworker directly. In either case, be sure the details provided remain clear on how your anonymity needs to be respected by all parties involved.
