Confidential advisor
What is a confidential advisor?
A confidential advisor is a person who
can help you with issues regarding
misconduct in your working
environment.
There are two type of confidential advisor.
A ‘Confidential Advisor for Inappropriate
Behaviour’ can help you with issues that
have hurt or offended you and led you to
feel unsafe at work.
You can go to a ‘Confidential Advisor for
Workplace Integrity’, to safely report
suspected misconduct. You can report
issues that could be damaging to the
company.
These two roles are often combined.
What does she do?
As an external Confidential Advisor for
Inappropriate Behaviour and Workplace
Integrity you can discuss both types of
misconduct with me. I listen to you and help
you make an informed decision.
Inappropriate behaviour
This is about issues concerning relations,
communication and management that have hurt or
offended you and led you to feel unsafe at work.
Possible issues may be bullying, intimidation, sexual
harassment, aggression, violence or discrimination.
Workplace integrity
This is about suspected misconduct. You can report
issues that could be damaging to the company, such as
theft, fraud, abuse of power, violation of the rules and
improper behaviour.
Confidentiality
Everything you discuss remains confidential, unless a
serious criminal offence has been committed that
leaves the confidential advisor in a moral dilemma.
Quality
I am a certified Confidential Advisor for
Inappropriate Behaviour and Workplace
Integrity.
How does it work?
You can contact me at any moment or just schedule
an online appointment. At the moment all meetings
are remotely, by telephone or by Zoom.
I am not there to take the problem off your hands. You
are in control. I assess what is essential for you and
suggest ways in which you can deal with the situation.
You can also see a confidential advisor simply to get
things off your chest. You do not necessarily have to
take action.
