Harassment and discrimination

Handle people concerns with care

Concerns about how people are treated are among the hardest to raise, because the person raising them is often the one with least power. ClearVoice lets them choose how much to share, and keeps the case away from line managers.

The challenge

Where this usually goes wrong

Reports go to the person's own manager, or someone close to them.

The person affected is asked to repeat their story to several people.

Retaliation follows the report and nobody is watching for it.

Outcomes are never fed back, so people conclude it was pointless.

How ClearVoice handles it

From first report to closed case

  1. 01

    Choose how to be contacted

    Reporters can stay anonymous, share their name, or leave contact details with a preferred way to be reached.

  2. 02

    Keep it away from the line

    Name the person concerned and ClearVoice keeps them, their reporting line and their department away from the case.

  3. 03

    Watch for retaliation

    Reporters and staff can raise a retaliation concern. Protective measures are recorded and followed up until the risk has passed.

  4. 04

    Tell the reporter what happened

    Plain status labels and a closing outcome keep the reporter informed without revealing internal detail.

An illustrative case

Illustrative only. It is not a customer story.

  1. 1An employee reports repeated comments from a team leader and chooses to share their name only with the case team.
  2. 2The case is assigned to HR in another department. The team leader and their manager cannot see it.
  3. 3A week later the employee raises a retaliation concern. A protection owner is assigned and measures are recorded.
  4. 4The case closes with a recorded outcome and the reporter sees the result.

FAQ

Common questions

Can the person affected stay anonymous and still be helped?

Yes. The two-way anonymous mailbox lets the case team ask questions and give updates without learning who the reporter is.

Who can see the reporter's name if they share it?

Reporter identity is stored apart from the report. Revealing it needs a written reason and, if you require it, a second person's approval. Every reveal is logged.
