Services Provided by HR Acuity
Ethics & Compliance Hotline
HR Acuity's ethics and compliance hotline solution is designed to help organizations protect both their workers and their brand by offering secure, confidential, and convenient reporting procedures. With fully encrypted hotline submissions, organizations can be confident that sensitive employee data is safeguarded at every stage. Customizable items are provided through the system, allowing organizations to tailor the reporting process—such as hotline scripts, language menus, and user interfaces—to fit particular compliance needs and company culture.
In operation in more than 50 countries, supporting up to 35 languages, the hotline is toll-free and available 24/7, allowing staff to report issues anywhere, at any time. Being accessible globally, this allows for inclusivity and conquers reporting obstacles, with workers able to report issues in a secure and safe setting.
All issues that are raised are recorded in a single system, giving organizations an open and unified picture of matters at hand. Real-time monitoring and taking a total view of data allow HR personnel to react in a timely manner, identify patterns, and respond proactively. Smooth integration with existing HRIS applications and systems streamlines processes, yielding an efficient and standardized case management process. From intake to resolution, HR Acuity's solution allows organizations to provide transparency, compliance, and employee issue management with accountability and transparency.
Employee Workplace Reporting
HR Acuity's smart anonymous employee reporting and whistleblowing system makes it easier, safer, and simpler to speak up. In trying to reduce the friction in reporting workplace issues, the site offers a number of intake pathways—online, phone, or SMS—where employees report anonymously or by name, as desired. Confidentiality for those who do not want to work with someone is preserved through AI-based functionality, and live agent support and bilingual capability deliver maximum reach in 56 nations and 35 languages.
The most salient aspect of HR Acuity is the anonymous, two-way messaging feature that makes it possible to have open lines of communication with the organization and the reporter despite their anonymity. Reporters are provided with individual PINs and key codes that enable them to check the present real-time status of their cases, which ensures transparency and makes it possible to establish trust.
AI also automates and routes reports to maintain consistency, fairness, and transparency in matters management. Automatic routing of all reports to HR Acuity's centralized case management system streamlines investigation and speeds up resolution. With flexible support and quantifiable outcomes—such as a 72% increase in employees feeling confident to report misconduct—HR Acuity's whistleblower program allows organizations to establish a culture of trust and accountability through effective, easy-to-use reporting mechanisms.
Workplace Investigations
HR Acuity's workplace investigations management software is designed to bring order, consistency, and justice to employee investigations. From a patented three-step methodology—Plan, Investigate, Determine—the software guides HR personnel through a best practice-based formal process. The formal process generates higher defensibility, establishes employee trust, and helps to achieve compliance with ever-evolving legal and regulatory requirements.
The platform's AI-driven features, including interview guides and built-in protocols, facilitate proper questioning, confidentiality, and neutrality throughout the process. Role-based authentication retains sensitive data securely and facilitates proper decision-making handoffs. Through case documentation and smart automation, HR Acuity enables faster resolution while ensuring consistent cases.
Transparency is encouraged through end-to-end visibility into outcomes and processes, allowing organizations to track substantiation rates and demonstrate accountability. ThroughCare™, a follow-up and post-investigation care module to cement trust and employee well-being, is also included in the platform. Used by high-performing organizations, HR Acuity's investigation software is designed to reduce risk, drive compliance, and allow organizations to hold good on their promise of fairness. Through offering a projected, realistic framework with the use of AI, the platform allows for organizations to act on worker issues and create a safe workplace environment.
