How It Works

Your employees get access to confidential HR support when facing workplace issues. We help them understand their situation, navigate internal processes, and determine what needs to be reported.

Critical distinction: We work for your employees, not you. We have no reporting relationship to your company. This independence is what makes the benefit valuable for everyone.

Benefits to your organization

Better Informed Employees Create Healthier workplaces - Period.

We help employees understand what's worth reporting and how to report it properly. That gives your company the opportunity to address real issues before they become legal problems. When employees have confidence in the process, they speak up through internal channels instead of skipping straight to lawyers or regulatory agencies.

The result: You catch problems early, address legitimate concerns, and filter out noise. No one ever left a company because it was too safe to work there. And no one ever took a job because the environment was extremely toxic and miserable.

Early Issue Identification

Most companies don't find out something's wrong until it's too late - when an employee files a lawsuit or goes to the EEOC. We give employees a safe space to understand what's happening and what to bring to HR before situations escalate. This prevents problems from festering into legal action.

Reduced Frivolous Complaints

Employees often don't know what's reportable misconduct versus what's not. We help them distinguish between the two, which means your HR team gets fewer frivolous complaints and more time to focus on legitimate concerns.

We also equip employees to handle minor issues independently, so your team isn't spending hours mediating conflicts that don't require HR intervention.

Extra Support for Your HR Team

When employees come to HR prepared - with proper documentation, understanding of the process, and realistic expectations - investigations run smoother and faster. Your team isn't spending time educating people on basics or extracting critical details. They can focus on resolution.

The result: employees feel less anxious, your HR executes cleaner processes, and fair outcomes build trust across the organization.

Risk Mitigation

We're extra insurance. By giving employees a confidential resource before they make career-damaging mistakes, stay silent about unlawful behavior, or skip internal processes entirely, you reduce legal exposure. Employees who understand their options are less likely to escalate prematurely or make claims without merit.

Demonstrates Real Support

Offering a truly independent resource shows employees you're serious about their safety. It's not another company hotline they don't trust - it's an external expert with no company ties. That psychological safety means employees act faster when real issues arise, bringing problems forward before they escalate. By providing access to Privacounsel as a benefit, you’re demonstrating your commitment to maintaining a healthy and productive working environment.

FAQs

  • No. Employees' use of this service is completely confidential. We have no reporting relationship to your company.

  • EAPs focus on mental health and work-life issues. Hotlines are run by or for your company. We provide strategic HR guidance from experts with no company affiliation. Employees trust us because we have no obligation to report back to you. Instead of providing a mechanism to report, we provide knowledge and information needed to want to report issues in the first place, which is not currently addressed by tools on the market.

  • That's the point. If an employee has a legitimate case, it's better they understand their options and go through proper channels than skip your internal process entirely and go straight to a lawyer or regulatory agency. We help them determine if their concerns are valid and guide them to report internally when appropriate. With or without our service, employees can still retain legal counsel. Our goal is to prevent the need for legal intervention by encouraging employees to speak up before issues escalate into legal territory.

  • No. We provide HR strategy and guidance. If a situation requires legal action, we refer them to employment attorneys. But most issues resolve without litigation when employees are properly informed and prepared. Our goal is to only provide information, leaving all decisions about taking action completely up to the employee.

  • No. That would defeat the purpose of offering an independent resource. However, patterns of employee concerns often surface through proper internal channels when employees are better prepared to report them.
