Confidential Counseling

The Role of a
Confidential Counselor


A Confidential Counselor fosters a safe, respectful workplace, reduces absenteeism, and enhances employee well-being. At 1for2 Social Innovation, we offer confidential support for work-related issues such as unwanted behavior, ensuring every concern is addressed with care and discretion.

Unwanted behavior is divided into unwanted interactions (explained in the ARBO law) and integrity. For matters that may involve serious misconduct, please visit our Whistleblowing page.

At 1for2 Social Innovation, we go beyond standard services by integrating our Confidential Counseling with industry-leading Reporting Software. Our platform, designed initially for whistleblowing, is now enhanced to support both unwanted interactions and integrity issues in 80 languages, 24/7.

This unique integration positions us ahead of competitors, providing your organization with the most reliable and people-centric service.

Support, Guidance, and Counseling for the Employee

The Confidential Counselor provides a listening ear and assistance to employees facing issues or problems such as conflicts, unwanted behavior, or other work-related matters. They offer emotional support, assist in exploring potential solutions, and provide advice on the next steps to empower the employee to address the situation effectively.

Educating, Enabling, Informing, and Inspiring the Organization

This role involves raising awareness within the organization about essential topics such as the work environment, behavioral standards, and ethics. The Confidential Counselor organizes informational sessions, workshops, and training to promote a positive, respectful, and safe work environment.

Providing Requested and Unsolicited Advice to Leadership

As an expert in organizational culture and employee well-being, the Confidential Counselor advises the board and management on relevant topics. This may involve improving policies, addressing structural issues, or implementing new initiatives to promote a healthy work environment. The confidential counselor can provide these recommendations both upon request and proactively.

Whistleblowing vs. Confidential Counseling

While whistleblowing involves reporting serious misconduct with legal implications, confidential counseling is a supportive service that helps employees address workplace issues before they escalate. Both services aim to protect employees, but they serve different purposes in maintaining workplace integrity.”
