Protected ethics reporting

Give employees a safer way to raise serious concerns.

Collect protected ethics reports in a dedicated workflow, isolate access to designated ethics officers and follow each case through review and resolution.

Separation by design

A dedicated channel, not another general HR request.

Employees submit a concern by category with a description and optional file through a focused, confirmation-based flow.

Only designated ethics officers can open the report register, review details, update status and add a resolution note.

Ethics case workflow

Protect access while keeping every case actionable.

HRlume separates report submission from officer-only case management.

Structured concern intake

Collect the details needed to begin a review without mixing sensitive reports into ordinary requests.

  • Harassment, fraud, safety and discrimination categories
  • Required report description
  • Optional supporting attachment

Designated ethics officers

Officer access is explicitly assigned. Being an administrator alone does not automatically expose case content.

Protected submission

A confirmation step makes the sensitivity of the action clear before a report is sent.

Case status

Move reports from new to in review, resolved or dismissed with a recorded resolution note.

Supporting files

Attach evidence to the protected record instead of circulating it through email or chat.
