This a voluntary commitment in addition to their normal job, which means that confidential advisors carry out these extra duties from intrinsic motivation, interest and passion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018I studied to be a translator-interpreter\u2019, Jo\u00eblle explains, \u2018but I have always been interested in psychology. So I studied social psychology and now work as a communications officer at the IOB. In that job, I come into contact with different cultures and their associated communication problems. I find that I really like the extra commitment of being a confidential advisor. I think it is important that people feel good in their jobs. It can happen to anyone that sometimes you suddenly can\u2019t see the wood for the trees. There are several initiatives at IOB around mental well-being in the workplace and it is nice to be involved in them.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2962\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-4-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-4.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">\u2018If it concerns a conflict between colleagues, we always try to apply the principle of \u201cmultilateral bias\u201d&#8217;, says Steffi Cornwell (<em>left<\/em>). &#8216;We also safeguard the other party\u2019s perspective and try to create a safe space for both parties.&#8217; &#8216;Employees often expect biased support, but we remain neutral at all times&#8217;, Jo\u00eblle Dhondt (<em>right<\/em>) adds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018I studied to be a pharmacist\u2019, Steffi says, \u2018but I now work as a study programme counsellor at the Faculty of Applied Engineering. I had been an ombudsperson for some time, and when we were seeing how we could professionalise the ombudsperson training, I took the confidential advisor training. This is a very useful training that all confidential advisors at our university are required to take. It covers the legal framework, psychosocial interventions and risks at work, conflict mediation, risk analysis, trauma and suicide, etc. Every year there is at least one legally required intervision session to keep us up to date. Themes covered at these intervision sessions and other refresher courses include interview techniques, connecting communication, diversity, mediation in social cases, etc.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not tied to a faculty<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The confidential advisors are not tied to a faculty, so you can choose the confidential advisor with whom you feel most comfortable. \u2018In some cases people from your own faculty visit you, and if both parties are comfortable enough with that, it is certainly possible\u2019, Jo\u00eblle says. \u2018In a conversation about stress complaints, you can remain perfectly neutral; in a conflict between two colleagues you both know, it is sometimes a bit more challenging. However, in my experience, knowing both parties can ensure that you know just the right way to mediate in a conversation. You can better respond to their body language and facial expressions. I remember a conversation that went beautifully and serenely because of mediation.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Within the faculties and departments, the expertise of the confidential advisors is increasingly acknowledged and recognised\u2019, Steffi adds, \u2018as a result of which we are also involved in the creation of \u201csafe spaces\u201d and initiatives around inappropriate behaviour.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to reach our confidential advisors?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Most employees reach out to us by sending an email\u2019, Steffi shares. \u2018On Pintra, there is <a href=\"https:\/\/pintra.uantwerpen.be\/webapps\/ua-pintrasite-BBLEARN\/module\/index.jsp?course_id=_44_1&amp;tid=_31215_1&amp;lid=_31456_1&amp;l=en_us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a list with all the confidential advisors<\/a> and our contact details. We are legally obliged to schedule an initial conversation within 10 days of that email.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018And then we agree on a place to meet\u2019, Jo\u00eblle says. \u2018Some prefer not to meet at their own department but prefer to go for a walk, for example, or choose a neutral place. During that initial conversation, we let the \u201crequester\u201d tell their story and try to get a clear idea of the context of their complaint.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2960\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-2-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">&#8216;We do not solve problems for people, but provide them with tools to see things clearly again&#8217;, says Jo\u00eblle Dhondt. &#8216;Together we search for \u201cenergisers\u201d \u2013 at home and at work \u2013 to find balance again.&#8217;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018During that first conversation, we also clearly state clearly what our role as confidential advisors is, and that we are bound by professional secrecy\u2019, Steffi adds. \u2018This immediately clarifies the expectations. At the end of that first session, we record follow-up actions on an \u201cauthorisation form\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018We see that for many, the barrier for going to a confidential advisor is very high\u2019, Jo\u00eblle finds. \u2018Trusting someone you don\u2019t know is not easy. But once past that barrier, most indicate that having a friendly informal conversation did them a lot of good.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What types of issues?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018If employees have persistent stress complaints due to their job, we provide the buffer for having an initial conversation\u2019, Jo\u00eblle believes. \u2018We are part of the Dynamic Risk Management System: we are part of the preventive measures, namely to limit damage and provide a first listening ear. If there is a conflict between two employees, the emphasis is on \u201creconciliation\u201d. We try to get both sides to sit around the table and to get back on speaking terms.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018You can come to us for many issues\u2019, Steffi says, \u2018but for matters that are not our expertise, we have to refer you. We are happy to help with stress complaints, conflicts between colleagues, bullying, violence, discrimination and unwanted behaviour, but if it explicitly involves sexual misconduct, we have to refer to our external prevention service, Mensura.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New: students included<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018We are primarily a point of contact for employees\u2019, Jo\u00eblle says, \u2018but students can now also come to us. That is what the new Flemish Welfare Decree has stipulated.\u2019 \u2018But this only for students who experience conflict with a lecturer or member of staff\u2019, Steffi clarifies. \u2018If it is about a conflict between two students, we refer to the student mediator, Walter Sevenhans. If students have burnout, stress or other well-being complaints, we refer them to the STIP. And if they have problems with the examination regulations, we tell them how to contact their faculty\u2019s ombudsperson.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2961\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-3-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-3.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">The confidential advisors also continue to undergo further training.

We do not solve problems for people, but provide them with tools to see things clearly again. Together we search for \u201cenergisers\u201d \u2013 at home and at work \u2013 to find balance again. Through conversation, we can discuss what small adjustments or changes might make a world of difference.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Above all, we ask a lot of questions: what do you think? What do you need? Can you change this yourself? What is your impact?\u2019 Steffi says. \u2018If it concerns a conflict between colleagues, we always try to apply the principle of \u201cmultilateral bias\u201d. We also safeguard the other party\u2019s perspective and try to create a safe space for both parties. In mediation sessions, we therefore make sure that both parties can equally share their side.\u2019 \u2018Sometimes it seems like we are playing the devil\u2019s advocate\u2019, Jo\u00eblle adds. \u2018Employees often expect biased support, but we remain neutral at all times. We can empathise with both sides and highlight both sides.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2959\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-1-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Vertrouwenspersonen-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">The confidential advisors are not tied to a faculty, so you can choose the confidential advisor with whom you feel most comfortable. &#8216;In some cases people from your own faculty visit you, and if both parties are comfortable enough with that, it is certainly possible&#8217;, Jo\u00eblle Dhondt (<em>left<\/em>) says.  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018We are fully bound by professional secrecy as confidential advisors\u2019, Steffi explains. \u2018The \u201crequester\u201d determines what we do with the information that was shared with us.

Is it because mental well-being at work is more talked about in the media? Or because the university\u2019s communication has given our channels a bit more visibility?
