Lisa Narrell-Mead, CEO of Everett Advisory Partners, has over twenty years experience providing expert legal and human resources counsel. She is available for expert consultation and testimony on all aspects of human resources policies and practices, including the employer’s obligation to prevent workplace discrimination and harassment, engage in the “interactive process” and provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities, and the effectiveness of employer efforts to address, remediate and investigate workplace complaints.

Public companies are required to have a whistleblower system under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  Private-sector employers are also affected by whistleblower provisions under the Dodd-Frank Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Hotlines are established in order to obtain both financial and non-financial related complaints (i.e. human resources, ethics violations, code of conduct and other employee complaints). The system must allow for anonymous and confidential submissions.

At Everett Advisory Partners, we administer a comprehensive program which provides the complainant live support 24×7, 365 days per year from our partners at Tellus. Reporting options include:

  • Toll Free number with Auto Attendant
  • Secure Email
  • Web-based Portal
  • Confidential Fax

Everett Advisory Partners is committed to providing our clients with confidential, anonymous reporting services at an affordable price. We help protect your assets, board of directors, management, and employees. We are an independent third-party hotline provider, which ensures your employees will feel confident their anonymity will be protected.

Companies of all sizes sometimes need a helping hand to make sense of difficult workplace circumstances or incidents. The more complicated the issue; the higher level the individuals involved; or the existence of legal or ethical concerns can warrant utilizing an independent third-party investigator. How a company responds in the wake of an allegation of impropriety or inappropriate workplace behavior sends a message to its employees. The investigation must be prompt, conducted by someone viewed as objective, and performed by someone who knows how to ask the right questions, how to listen, and how to demonstrate that they have listened. We use our HR, legal and corporate expertise and experience to conduct a thorough, objective and professional investigation and provide a detailed report of findings. We find the pieces of the puzzle to show a true picture.
