Safe Speak in PeopleForce Desk gives employees a confidential way to report misconduct — and HR one place to handle it.
Safe Speak: the reporting page
Your account has one Safe Speak link. It is a public page, so the person raising a concern never signs in, never appears in your employee list and never leaves an address you could write back to. What they get instead is a key to the case.
Safe Speak: access
Access to Safe Speak is set by a separate, named list. Being a PeopleForce administrator does not put someone on it, and neither does the right to manage ordinary HR tickets — a person has to be added by name, and can be taken off the same way. It is the first thing to settle when a reporting channel lives inside an HR system: not whether the report is anonymous, but who inside the company can open it.
Safe Speak: handling
Every report arrives in its own list with the handling tools the rest of Desk uses: a category, a status, a priority, an assignee and one thread that holds the whole correspondence.
In practice
Three consequences of running the channel inside your HR system rather than beside it.
A channel included with the platform
Safe Speak switches on with Desk. No separate vendor to procure, no separate rollout, no second admin panel for HR to maintain.
A link that works beyond your payroll
Contractors, suppliers, candidates and former employees use the same link as employees, because the page never asks who anyone is.
A key only the reporter holds
No account, no name, no email and no employee record is attached to a case. The password that gets the reporter back in is issued once and cannot be issued again.
Safe Speak: scope
Directive (EU) 2019/1937 asks organisations with 50 or more employees to run an internal reporting channel, acknowledge a report within seven days and come back to the reporter within three months. Safe Speak is where those reports arrive and where the conversation happens. The procedure around it — who handles what, on what terms, kept for how long — is written by your organisation and its advisers.
