In Utrecht, the demand for experts and integrity is growing external confidential counsellors. Whether you lead a company, foundation, or association, the role of a confidential counselor is important for the well-being and social safety of everyone involved in your organisation. In Utrecht, which is home to approximately 50.000 companies including the prominent Lage Weide and Papendorp industrial estates, access to a confidential counselor remains underexposed in many organisations.
Are you part of a Utrecht organisation and do you strive to make an active contribution to a safe corporate or organisational culture? Discover below how Trustlr can guide you in this important mission.

Choosing an external confidential counselor in Utrecht is a step that brings many advantages. You focus on the social safety and well-being of your employees, with the confidential counselor acting as a neutral and independent pillar of support. Employees can discuss situations of undesirable behaviour with the external confidential counselor in complete confidence and anonymity, knowing that there is an impartial party who listens to them.
DBy intervening early in undesirable behaviour, the confidential counselor prevents possible conflicts and further escalation in the workplace. This proactive approach not only leads to a more positive and inclusive corporate culture, but can also lead to significant cost savings for your organisation.
As an employer in Utrecht, an external confidential counselor is actually a requirement if you consider good employment practices to be an important issue.
TrustNet, our information platform, together with our external confidential counsellors, enables you to proactively create a safe working environment. We focus on combating undesirable behaviour, ranging from intimidation, bullying, and aggression to discrimination and sexual harassment, as well as issues of integrity such as fraud, theft, and conflicts of interest. Regardless of the size of the problem, Trustlr is ready to guide you and your employees towards a safer work culture. Because in a trusted environment, every employee performs better, while our escalation-reducing solutions make confidential counsellors less and less necessary. As a result, Trustlr's external confidential counsellors are not a cost item, but a cost saving.
Our confidential counsellors in Utrecht do this by listening, discussing possible actions with your employee, leaving control with the employee and providing support in reporting integrity issues anonymously.
From hospitality and tourism to consultancy and notary offices — Trustlr is as versatile as your company.
With TrustNet we give employees the power; they maintain control over their own working environment.
Undesirable behaviour unfortunately takes many forms. We are open, without judgement, to any situation that feels unsafe.

Want to hire a confidential counselor in Utrecht? Look no further, Trustlr is your all-in-one solution! Our external confidential counsellors ensure that you comply with current laws and regulations, even in the event of future changes. But we go further than that: we strive to strengthen your role as an employer, guiding you from good to great. Through our information platform, your employees get access to e-learning, advice and practical tips. We notice that many companies only engage a confidential counselor when the situation escalates and underestimate the importance of preventive information and training due to the high costs. Trustlr makes preventative building of a safe work culture accessible without additional costs. And if you need the immediate help of an external counselor, we are there for you.
Our confidential counsellors are certified by the LVV (National Association of Confidential Counsellors) and we are active throughout the Netherlands. Moreover, we give your employees the freedom to choose the confidential counselor who suits them best.

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.
