Application Honesty on sensitive topics

The conversation that otherwise never happens.

Social safety, integrity or the aftermath of an incident: topics where people only speak freely when nobody knows who says what. One live dialogue surfaces what surveys and reporting channels miss.

The occasion Social safety dialogue

Something sensitive is going on and people are not saying it out loud.

What you achieve
  • Question design with anonymity boundaries
  • Live dialogue around the sensitive topic
  • Reporting suitable for the board and works council

On sensitive topics the usual instruments fall short. In a traceable survey people phrase things cautiously, and reporting channels mainly receive what is already being reported formally.

An anonymous dialogue lets people respond without exposing themselves. They can recognise signals, add to them and weigh measures.

The approach 3 steps

From question to a next step people stand behind

We guide every step. What we mainly ask of you is substance: two meetings beforehand and a co-moderator during the session.

  1. Step 1

    Careful question design

    We define the right questions, anonymity boundaries and reporting levels in advance.

  2. Step 2

    Anonymous dialogue

    Participants write what they see and what they need to speak more freely.

  3. Step 3

    Reporting

    The outcome is translated into usable reporting without exposing individual reports or small groups.

From three core values to recognisable behaviour

More than 700 employees each described what a new culture means in their everyday work. The result became a culture compass.

Questions about social safety dialogue

Is your question not listed? Ask it in an introductory call.

Does this replace a reporting point or confidential adviser?

No. Those routes remain necessary for individual reports. The dialogue shows which experiences and preconditions are more widely felt.

How do you protect anonymity?

Each participant receives a random code instead of a name, and groups are only reported on separately from eight participants. We agree those limits with you in advance.

What if something serious comes up during the session?

In advance we agree how to handle that, and we point participants to the existing routes for individual reports. The dialogue itself stays about patterns, not people.

Who gets to see the outcome?

You decide that in advance. Often the report goes to the board, HR and works council, and participants receive a summary with the next steps.

Four application areas

Every application works with the same live dialogue.

Ask one question of everyone it concerns

In a demo we show you how your question works as a dialogue: what you ask, who you invite and what you'll have at the end.
