Investigations on Social Safety and Concerning Behaviour in Organizations
We conduct investigations into organisational culture and social safety. Given our background as psychologists we know how to take into consideration the personal and systemic aspects of behaviour in the workplace. We advice organisations when restorative and preventice measures are needed.
Screening and Risk Assessment
Dantes provides assessments for individuals on sensitive positions and for teams working under stressful conditions.
We use a combination of background screening, personality assessments and interviewing. Clients are provided with relevant behavioural information so that they know what to expect when circumstances change or stress increases. This includes concrete advice on how to manage the identified risks, enhance job-engagement and regular ‘mental check-ups’.
We also provide guidance and practical advice when employees are leaving the organisation and physical and reputational risks are involved.
Threat Assessment and Unwanted Communications
Dantes has developed quite some expertise with handling cases of (anonymous) threats and unwanted communication. We have the expertise to assess the risks involved and advice how to deal with this concerning behaviour. We also perform investigative actions to identify the source of the unwanted communication.
Building Expert Teams
The best way to accomplish a socially safe workplace is by having a system in place to deal with workplace issues. This is a combination of Compliance, HR, Care and Security.
Having a behavioral management system in place creates a way to deal with problematic situations and to manage concerns and fears. It reduces silo effects of information and creates ownership of different stakeholders. The costs of workplace violence are often underestimated. It is a well-known phenomenon that serious deviant behaviour is underreported.
We have the expertise and experience with installing and training a multidisciplinary behavioral management team in any type of organization. The SACWI is an instrument we have developed for this purpose.
Investigating Concerning Workplace Behaviour
On a regular basis we conduct internal investigations. From low level concerns to serious workplace violence from internal and external parties. Our experts investigate integrity issues like abuse of power, harassment, bullying, (anonymous) threats, intimidation, extortion, stalking.
We also investigate the issues related to organisational culture. Given our psychological background as investigators, the behavioural approach takes into consideration the personal and organisational circumstances of the event that occurred. We advice the organisation accordingly how to take restorative and preventive measures if necessary
In many assignments we involve additional expertise coming from our international network, for instance: legal experts, IT and financial specialists.
