Maintaining the confidentiality of employees' identities in the intra-company procedure for complaints of workplace violence against the background of the provisions of ILO Convention No. 190

Violence in the workplace has a number of negative consequences for both employees and employers. Depending on its nature, these can be physical, psychological, health harms. These may affect not only the victim of violence but also his family. From the employer's point of view, violence can cause material and image damage. One of the key elements of protection against violence is to provide an effective avenue for complaints and to guarantee the safety of complainants. Among other measures, the obligation to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of employees' identities in the workplace violence complaint procedure also serves this purpose.
