Define the Purpose: Clearly define the purpose and objectives of your grievance portal. Determine the types of grievances it will handle, the level of support it will provide, and the desired outcomes.
Identify Technology Requirements: Evaluate the technology needed to establish the grievance portal. This may include selecting a reliable and secure platform or developing a custom portal based on your business needs. Consider factors such as user interface, security features, and integration capabilities.
Design User-Friendly Interface: Create an intuitive and user-friendly interface for the grievance portal. Ensure that clients can easily navigate through the portal, submit their grievances, and access relevant information. Implement features such as clear instructions, helpful tooltips, and logical workflows.
Develop Grievance Submission Form: Design a comprehensive grievance submission form that captures all necessary information. Include fields for relevant details such as client information, nature of the grievance, supporting documents, and desired outcomes. Validate the form to ensure accurate and complete submissions.
Establish Communication Channels: Determine the communication channels through which clients and support staff can interact. This may include email notifications, in-platform messaging, or dedicated support contact details. Enable real-time updates and ensure timely responses to keep clients informed and engaged.
Implement Security Measures: Prioritize the security of client information by implementing robust security measures. Use encryption, access controls, and other security protocols to safeguard data. Comply with relevant data protection regulations to maintain client trust and confidentiality.
Train Support Staff: Provide training to your support staff on how to handle grievances submitted through the portal. Ensure they understand the grievance resolution process, how to communicate effectively, and how to escalate complex cases when necessary. Empower them to provide prompt and satisfactory resolutions.
Test and Launch: Thoroughly test the grievance portal before its launch. Perform functionality tests, security assessments, and user acceptance testing to identify and resolve any issues. Once satisfied, launch the portal, and communicate its availability to your clients through various channels.
Monitor and Improve: Continuously monitor the performance of the grievance portal and gather feedback from clients. Use analytics to track key metrics such as submission rates, resolution times, and client satisfaction. Regularly evaluate the portal's effectiveness and make improvements based on user feedback and emerging trends.
Promote Awareness: Actively promote the existence and benefits of the grievance portal to your clients. Utilize various marketing channels such as website announcements, newsletters, and social media platforms to raise awareness. Emphasize the convenience, transparency, and efficiency of the portal to encourage client engagement.
By following these steps, businesses can effectively set up their grievance portals, empowering clients to submit grievances easily and enabling efficient resolution processes.

Why you should establish an Internal Grievance Portal for your Business.
Disputes are inevitable. Resolving disputes is a necessity.
Disputes disrupt business, they divert the time and effort of the company’s staff and management from its ‘core competencies,’ which inevitably impacts the business, its development, its opportunities… These hours spent on a dispute are so many hours not spent on a profit generating activity. Implementing systems and processes, shifting towards a more "business oriented approach to dispute management" facilitates the company’s income generating activity.
These processes are elements that compose a companywide self-regulatory system and a thoroughly self regulated company is the guarantee of a coherent strategy to effectively manage disputes.
From the ‘action-reaction’ approach to dispute resolution, Equa's approach to the management of dispute is rational, business oriented and responding to a purely practical purpose: making the dispute compatible with the company’s business strategy and adding to the Profit Generating Capabilities of the Corporation.

From ‘ad hoc’ to ‘systemic dispute resolution’
Disputes are generally viewed and managed in a piecemeal, ad hoc fashion, as isolated events, which are sometimes grouped by category if the risk exposure is great enough but that are rarely examined in the aggregate to reveal patterns and systemic issues.
With Equa.Law on their side, companies have incorporated the integrated and inclusive management of disputes into their corporate culture, aligning their legal departments to engage with all functions of business for early detection and resolution. This choice of shifting the approach is not presently based on trend or image, but on true pragmatic and economic reasons brought in though Internal Grievance Redressal Portals by Equa.
Facilitating your legal department to be inclusive
The legal departments are often not involved in the disputes until it gets too late to move away from a full-fledged court dispute, and some of these in court disputes last for years and bleed the organizations badly.
Equa.Law helps businesses to streamline the internal processes to identify the potential dispute at a very early stage in any function or department of the business. The legal department’s efforts to work closely with the managers to accelerate settlements and reduce costs is facilitated by an Internal Grievance Redressal Portal from a very early stage of the dispute.
Inculcating holistic approach to manage disputes
Equa.Law believes that legal matters and disputes are not merely legal ‘problems’ but are a part of the ‘course of business’ and can even be a source of opportunity”.
The legal department is not a separate piece of the machine but an integrated part of it, one without which the machine breaks down. The corporate machine never stops, therefore a legal department has to have the capability to respond to the flux of disputes efficiently through wise management and real world creative solutions.
