Prevent misconduct

An employer must ensure a safe workplace for its employees. Not only does this concern taking safety measures and facilitating healthy working, preventing misconduct in the workplace is also an important responsibility. It is therefore very important that your organisation has the correct regulations, guidelines and procedures in place to prevent misconduct as much as possible. We advise you on what is needed and we work with you to find what works for your organisation.
