Confidential advisor

Confidential advisor and prevention as a priority for a socially safe workplace

At a time during which the emphasis is increasingly placed on creating a healthy and pleasant work climate, the question arises: how can organizations ensure a safe environment for their employees? Appointing an (internal) confidential advisor is a commonly chosen first step for companies. To actually create and maintain a safe working environment, broader measures and sometimes even a culture change are needed.

Integrating social safety in the workplace turns out to be a crucial factor in striving for a sustainably healthy organization.

If there is a pleasant learning and working climate, results are better, work is done more effectively, and there is more opportunity for innovation. But what exactly does this entail, and how can organizations achieve this?

Confidential Advisor

What is a socially safe workplace?

Every workplace is different, every corporate culture is different. However, there are a number of elements that indicate a socially safe workplace:

Employees express themselves easily.
They also talk about bottlenecks in the execution of their work.
They talk openly and freely.
They speak out without fear of consequences.
