To build trust and meet global compliance obligations, you need more than an HR management and employee relations platform — you need solutions designed for regulatory rigor, scalability, and integration. NAVEX delivers exactly that: proven global coverage, enterprise-grade case management, and a platform that connects reporting with the rest of your compliance program. Here’s how NAVEX stands apart in the areas that matter most.
NAVEX provides multilingual intake, 24/7 toll-free hotlines in more than 150 languages, and the compliance infrastructure trusted by organizations in over 150 countries.
