Learn how Inform HR helps employers receive, document, route, and respond to workplace concerns while giving employees a simple and secure way to report issues.
Inform HR is designed to make workplace reporting clearer for employers and more accessible for employees. These frequently asked questions explain who the platform is for, how the reporting process works, and what employers can expect when getting started.
Inform HR is a workplace reporting and documentation platform that helps employers receive earlier notice of employee concerns.
The platform gives employees a simple way to report workplace issues and gives employers a structured system for documenting notice, routing reports, tracking follow-up, and maintaining a clear record of response.
Inform HR is built for employers that want a clearer, more reliable process for receiving and documenting workplace concerns.
The platform is especially helpful for small to mid-sized businesses, owner-led companies, and organizations that may not have a large internal HR department or fully developed reporting system.
Employees also use Inform HR as the end users of the platform, but the system is typically implemented and supported by the employer.
Inform HR supports both.
For employers, Inform HR provides a structured intake, routing, and documentation process for workplace concerns.
For employees, Inform HR provides a simple and secure way to report workplace issues so important information can be documented and routed for review.
The goal is to improve the reporting process for both sides.
Inform HR can support reporting for a wide range of workplace concerns, including:
Employers can discuss the reporting categories that make the most sense for their organization during setup.
Inform HR helps employers create a clearer record of workplace concerns from the moment they are submitted.
The platform can help employers:

Inform HR gives employees a clear way to report workplace concerns.
Employees can identify the type of issue, explain what happened, provide relevant details, and submit the report through a structured process. This helps make sure important information is documented and routed through the employer’s reporting process.
The platform is designed to feel simple, secure, and accessible rather than confusing or intimidating.
No. Inform HR does not replace an HR department, manager, legal advisor, safety team, or other internal employer function.
Instead, Inform HR supports those functions by creating a clearer intake and documentation process. It helps employers receive concerns earlier, organize information more consistently, and track follow-up more reliably.
No. Inform HR is a workplace reporting and documentation platform. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
The platform helps employers and employees document workplace concerns and route information through the appropriate reporting process. Employers should consult their own legal, HR, safety, claims, or compliance advisors when guidance is needed.
No. Inform HR should not be viewed as a complaint generator or litigation tool.
The platform is designed as an early notice, documentation, and resolution system. Its purpose is to help employees raise concerns clearly and help employers respond earlier, document better, and handle issues with greater consistency and accountability.
The process generally begins when an employee submits a workplace concern through the Inform HR platform.
The employee chooses the type of concern, provides relevant details, reviews the report, and submits it. The report is then documented and routed through the employer’s reporting process so the appropriate person or department can review the issue and determine next steps.
Depending on the type of concern, an employee may be asked to provide:
This structure helps employers receive clearer information from the beginning.
After a report is submitted, the concern is documented and routed through the employer’s reporting process.
Depending on the issue, the report may be reviewed by HR, safety, payroll, management, risk, claims, legal, or another designated employer representative. The employer can then determine appropriate next steps and document follow-up.
No. Inform HR is not an emergency response system.
If someone is in immediate danger, needs urgent medical attention, or is facing an emergency safety issue, they should seek immediate help through the appropriate emergency, medical, or workplace safety channels.
Inform HR can help document and route workplace concerns, but it should not replace immediate emergency response.
Yes. Inform HR can help employees submit information about workplace injuries and help employers document early notice of the incident.
This may include details such as the date and time of injury, location, what happened, body part affected, witnesses, supervisor notification, medical attention, work restrictions, photos, or other relevant information.
Early documentation can help employers review the issue, coordinate next steps, and preserve important facts.
Yes. Inform HR can help employees submit structured reports about harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or related workplace concerns.
The platform helps capture specific information, such as what happened, when it happened, who was involved, whether there were witnesses, whether the issue has happened before, and what type of follow-up may be requested.
This gives employers a clearer starting point for review and response.
Yes. Reports can be routed based on the type of workplace concern and the employer’s internal process.
For example, a work injury may be routed to HR, safety, risk, or claims. A payroll concern may be routed to HR or payroll. A harassment, discrimination, or retaliation concern may be routed to HR, legal, or designated leadership.
Routing can be discussed during setup based on the employer’s needs.
Inform HR helps create a clearer record of notice, response, and follow-up.
The platform can help document:
This gives employers a more organized record than scattered emails, text messages, informal notes, or verbal reports.
Inform HR is designed to support secure workplace reporting and documentation. Because employee concerns may involve sensitive workplace information, the platform should be implemented with care, clear access controls, and appropriate employer-side handling.
Specific security, access, and confidentiality details can be discussed during the consultation and setup process.
Inform HR is intended to make workplace reporting simple and accessible, including for employees who may need to submit a concern from a phone, tablet, or computer.
Mobile accessibility can help employees report concerns more easily and help employers receive information earlier.
Inform HR pricing is based on company size, reporting needs, and implementation requirements.
Because every organization is different, pricing may vary depending on the number of employees, internal routing needs, reporting volume, and level of setup required. Employers can request pricing through the Get Started page.
After an employer submits an inquiry, Inform HR can review the company’s size, reporting needs, current HR process, and documentation goals.
From there, the next step is typically a consultation to discuss whether Inform HR is a good fit, what setup may involve, and which plan or pricing structure makes sense for the organization.
The first step is to submit an inquiry through the Get Started page.
From there, Inform HR can learn more about your organization, current reporting process, company size, and workplace documentation needs.
Inform HR helps employers create a clearer process for receiving, documenting, routing, and responding to workplace concerns while giving employees a simple way to report issues.
