Application Honesty on sensitive topics

The conversation that otherwise never happens.

Psychological 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 Psychological safety

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.

FAQ

Questions about psychological safety

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

Does this replace a reporting channel or confidential adviser?

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

How do you protect anonymity?

Contributions cannot be traced back to individuals and small groups are not reported separately. We agree those boundaries in advance.
