THE TRUSTED PERSON IN A COMPANY

The Trusted Person in a Company

The Trusted Person in a Company (TPC) deals overall with psychosocial risks at work. The TPC offers support to any worker who feel that his/her personality or integrity has been offended. The TPC accompanies and guides individuals in situations of conflict, exhaustion, stress, burnout, or who fell victimized by discrimination, unfairness or violence at work. The TPC acts through individual interviews and prevention seminars.

The TPC is a certified person, well-known to both the management and all the employees.

« Trust is the invisible glue that leads a team to perform »

Tanya Mounier

The specific features of a «Trusted Person» :

Confidentiality

Given that the TPC is bound by professional secret, each interview is done in total confidentiality.
Goodwill
The TPC is trained to listen actively and with goodwill.
Independence

Off-hierarchy, the TPC is totally independent from the management, human resources and legal departments.

Neutrality
The TPC makes no judgment about the person with whom she is in contact.
