Hiring an external confidential counselor from Trustlr offers your organisation the best help against unwanted behaviour. Trustlr proactively works on your safe working environment.
Why is hiring an external confidential counsellor important? One in six employees in the Netherlands experiences undesirable behaviour in the workplace. There is therefore a good chance that, despite a good working atmosphere, there is also undesirable behaviour within your organisation.

Doing nothing is not an option. It's in it importance of both the reporter and the organisation to take action in a situation of undesirable behaviour (intimidation, bullying, aggression, discrimination and sexual harassment). Our external confidential counsellors act accordingly.

The House of Representatives adopted the Groen Links initiative law in 2023. This law is now being discussed by the Senate. Because 95% of all bills that pass the House of Representatives are also adopted in the Senate, it seems likely that an external confidential counsellor will soon become mandatory for companies with more than 10 employees.
We work on prevention and intervention. At best, our external confidential counsellors only help you proactively improve your work culture. Nevertheless, if necessary, we help to discuss unwanted behaviour and integrity violations and work together on de-escalation.
Undesirable behaviour involves bullying, discrimination, intimidation and sexual intimidation. Integrity issues are matters such as theft, fraud, conflicts of interest, corruption and other forms of abuse of power that harm the organisation or society.
The three most important tasks of our confidential counsellors are to provide initial support, guidance and advice to employees, to provide information, and to provide solicited and unsolicited advice to the top of an organisation.
We distinguish ourselves by our proactive approach. We would be happy to provide additional information about this in a personal conversation.
Every employer is obliged to implement a policy on psychosocial workload. One of the ways in which the Dutch Labor Inspectorate (the Arbo Inspection) checks this is by looking at the presence of a number of matters that you have arranged directly with Trustlr, such as making a confidential counselor available and providing information about inappropriate behaviour. The presence of a code of conduct and a complaints procedure is also checked and Trustlr can arrange both for you.
Sounds nice: 'our confidential counsellors help you save costs', but how does that work? In the Netherlands, 1,2 million people are confronted with undesirable forms of conduct in the workplace each year, and of the 6 billion euros in work-related absenteeism costs, 64% is caused by psychosocial work pressure.
Because Trustlr's services proactively contribute to a safer work culture, we often see a decrease in work-related absenteeism costs. In addition, a safe work culture helps to reduce turnover and increase employee productivity.
An external confidential counselor is an independent party where an employee can make a report completely anonymously. Because it is an external party, there is no (appearance of) conflict of interest, which can be the case with an internal confidential counselor. An external confidential counselor is also more experienced and you do not have to make training costs. We also believe in cooperation with internal confidential counsellors, this is in line with our philosophy of freedom of choice for the employee.
