The call for a professional and reliable confidential counselor in the Amsterdam region is growing stronger. There is increasing recognition among companies, foundations and associations for the crucial contribution that a external confidential counsellor contributes to guaranteeing the well-being and protection of employees and other stakeholders. Such a professional is essential for maintaining a safe working environment in your institution.
Nearly 270.000 companies are located in the dynamic environment of Amsterdam, with its prominent business parks such as Amsterdam Science Park and Business Park Amsterdam. However, many of these organisations do not yet have access to the services of a confidential counselor. Are you affiliated with an Amsterdam company and do you want to work on a safe corporate culture? Discover below why an external confidential counsellor is important and how Trustlr can help you.

With an external confidential counsellor you can put the interests of your employees in Amsterdam first. A confidential counselor guarantees social safety and contributes to the well-being of your team. Early intervention in undesirable behaviour situations prevents escalations and contributes to a safe working environment.
An important advantage of a confidential counselor is his or her independence and neutrality. Employees can share their concerns confidentially and anonymously, knowing that an objective party is listening. In addition to promoting a healthy working atmosphere, this often also leads to financial benefits for the organisation. In short, a confidential counselor is an investment in the future and cohesion of your company.

Frequently asked questions
You can find answers to general questions here. If you have specific questions, you can always make an appointment with our team.
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.
In addition, Trustlr offers additional preventive services through our e-learning courses via the Trustlr platform.
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 counsellor 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 annually experience unwanted behaviour in the workplace, and of the 6 billion euros in work-related absenteeism costs, 64% is caused by psychosocial work strain. Because Trustlr's services proactively contribute to a safer work culture, we often see a decrease in work-related absenteeism costs. In addition, the Trustlr platform helps us to reduce our billable hours, meaning that our service quickly yields more than you invest in it.
