How does it work?
If you decide to make use of this service, the first step to take is to inform your employees about it.

We can provide standard letters to inform your employees. Also, we offer our services as an independent bureau to introduce this service to your employees and/or the works council.
After the first introduction, there are several ways to permanently announce the incident hotline to your employees, for example, through the Intranet, staff magazine, posters etc. Once they are acquainted with the procedure your employees can report incidents 24 hours a day:
Our professionals will monitor and process the reports. After receiving an incident report we will contact you or the person you assigned as our contact. This way, you will know that something is going on in your organization and you can do something about it, with our help if desired.
We will regularly send you an overview of the number of reports and their overall content. This information will be of use for your official reports.
