Philosophy & Policy
-
Yes. Everything you share is treated with discretion. We never share client information without permission.
-
No. The Discovery Call is a clarity session, not a pitch. We’ll walk you through your options only if support makes sense for your situation
-
Friends and internet advice can’t replace trained, independent HR guidance. We understand power, process, and documentation in ways that help you protect yourself, not just vent.
-
No. Caged Bird HR does not provide legal advice or representation. Our services are rooted in HR best practices and employee advocacy, not legal counsel. If you need legal advice, we recommend consulting a licensed employment attorney
-
This service is available only to clients actively enrolled in a three-month Extended Support Package, and only if your employer allows you to have a representative present. During these meetings, we will not speak on your behalf, but we will:
Ask for breaks to consult with you
Thoroughly prepare you for the types of questions that may arise
Help you document and reflect on what was said afterward
Your Consultant will help you determine if this is an option during your Discovery Call. This service is available only to clients actively enrolled in a three-month Extended Support Package. If this is something you believe you’ll need, your Consultant can walk you through what that support looks like and whether it’s a good fit during your Discovery Call.
-
While many of our Consultants have experienced workplace trauma themselves and can empathize deeply, Caged Bird HR is not a mental health service. You may find emotional relief in simply being heard and validated, but we are not licensed therapists. We strongly encourage all clients to seek support from a licensed mental health professional alongside our services if you are experiencing ongoing distress, anxiety, or trauma symptoms.
