Social Safety and the Role of the Confidential Counsellor
A specific area of focus within TNO's research domain is social safety in the workplace. This includes promoting a safe and healthy work environment where employees feel respected and valued.

These professionals are essential for creating an environment where employees can speak openly about concerns or issues related to unwanted behaviour, such as bullying, discrimination or sexual harassment. Through research and advice, TNO offers insights and tools to improve the effectiveness of confidential counsellors and thus strengthen social security within organisations.
