A Confidential Workplace Adviser for your organisation

An independent point of contact for your employees

Bullying, discrimination, aggression, (sexual) harassment or concerns about integrity: sometimes employees experience situations they find difficult to raise within their organisation. An external Confidential Workplace Adviser gives them a safe, confidential place to talk. Looking to appoint an Confidential Workplace Adviser for your organisation? Dinkelberg & Partners offers businesses in Eindhoven, Veghel and the surrounding area an independent point of contact for employees: someone outside the organisation, with no internal interests, who will listen in confidence.

What does a Confidential Workplace Adviser do?

First and foremost, a confidential adviser listens. Employees can explain their concerns in confidence. The adviser asks questions, helps clarify the situation and discusses possible next steps. The adviser does not decide what should happen next. Employees remain in control and choose whether to take action and, if so, what action to take. Employees can approach the confidential adviser about bullying, aggression, discrimination, (sexual) harassment or integrity concerns, for example.

Why appoint a Confidential Workplace Adviser?

An internal confidential adviser knows the organisation and its people. That can be reassuring, but it may also make employees reluctant to speak up. An external adviser is independent of the organisation and has no internal interests or relationships to consider. At Dinkelberg & Partners, this role is deliberately kept separate from our other HR services. The professional advising your organisation on HR matters will not also act as the Confidential Workplace Adviser for your employees. This clear separation helps safeguard independence.

Confidentiality comes first

The content of conversations between employees and the confidential adviser is not shared with the employer. This confidentiality is essential to giving employees the freedom to speak openly.

As an employer, you will receive an annual anonymised overview of the concerns raised, broken down by category. This gives you insight into issues within the organisation without disclosing confidential conversations or personal information. An Confidential Workplace Adviser gives employees somewhere to turn when they need support and helps promote a socially safe working environment.
