Not every staffing issue lends itself to openness or formal steps.

Sometimes the situation is too sensitive, too early, or too complex to make visible within the organization. At the same time you want to act carefully, without risks or unrest. Learn more about situations where discretion is not a preference, but a requirement.

What discretion means here (and what it does not)

At Refer, discretion does not mean things happen "under the radar". It means you, as the employer, keep control over visibility, timing, and follow-up.

What discretion does mean here

  • No internal visibility or noise
  • No contact with the employee
  • No automatic follow-up steps
  • Full control with the employer

What discretion is not

  • No legal procedure
  • No disguised dismissal
  • No mandatory process or outcome

Everything happens carefully, controlled, and within legal frameworks.

When this solution is a good fit

This way of discreetly resolving staffing issues is most suitable when:

  • an employee performs well but structurally no longer fits
  • dismissal feels too heavy or too early
  • legal procedures cause unwanted escalation
  • doing nothing increases the tension
  • you want to create space first, without locking in decisions

Refer is not a replacement for formal HR or legal steps, but a careful, humane in-between step before situations truly start to stall.
