NR-1: Psychosocial Risk Management with Communication Intelligence

Detect, monitor, and document psychosocial risks through your organization's communication patterns — before they become burnout, conflict, or labor liability.

Already available for companies in Brazil. LGPD compliance verified.

What NR-1 Requires

Four obligations every company in Brazil must fulfill

Portaria MTE 1.419/2024 made psychosocial risk management mandatory in PGR. See what your company needs to implement.

Psychosocial Risk Identification

Map risk factors in the work environment: overload, conflicts, harassment, toxic communication, isolation, and unclear hierarchical relationships.

Continuous Assessment and Monitoring

Evaluate the likelihood and severity of identified risks. Continuously monitor indicators of organizational climate deterioration.

Action Plans (PGR)

Document action plans with deadlines, responsible parties, and effectiveness indicators. Include evidence in PGR for audit purposes and eSocial S-2240.

Worker Notification

Notify employees about identified risks, preventive measures adopted, and their rights — with acknowledgment registration.

The Invisible Problem

Psychosocial risk starts in communication — before any visible symptom

65–93% of meaning is lost in digital communication. Ambiguous messages, aggressive tone, unresolved conflicts, and communication overload are early signs of psychosocial risk that no climate survey captures in real time.

By the time burnout, leave, or harassment reaches HR as a formal problem, the damage has already occurred. Decodeme operates at the layer where it begins: in day-to-day communication patterns.

How Decodeme Helps

From detection to documentation — without exposing individual data

Decodeme monitors communication patterns to generate evidence of continuous psychosocial monitoring — compatible with NR-1, LGPD, and eSocial S-2240.

Early Detection

Behavioral Drift Index (BDI)

Detects subtle changes in communication patterns over time — early signals of deterioration before they become burnout, formal conflict, or absenteeism.

Monitoring

Psychosocial Risk Alerts

Real-time alerts when communication patterns indicate cognitive overload, emerging conflict, or toxicity — enabling intervention before escalation.

Compliance

Documentation for PGR and RIPD

Generates documented evidence of continuous monitoring suitable for integration into PGR, with audit trail compatible with eSocial S-2240 and RIPD.

LGPD

Consent Management and Worker Notification

Manages employee consent, records Worker Notification acknowledgments, and maintains communication rights history as required by LGPD.

Security

Privacy by Design — LGPD Art. 11

E2E encryption, data never used to train AI models, 5-year retention for compliance evidence, and rights exercise via DPO (dpo@decodeme.ai).

Management

Anonymized Organizational Dashboard

Departmental communication health dashboard — without exposing individual messages. Risk trend visibility for HR, leadership, and compliance teams.

Frequently Asked Questions — NR-1 and Decodeme

When do psychosocial NR-1 requirements come into effect?

Portaria MTE nº 1.419/2024 established psychosocial risk obligations and entered an educational phase in May 2025. From May 26, 2026, companies must formally include psychosocial risk factors in their GRO/PGR — the date from which compliance is enforceable by labor inspectors.

Does Decodeme replace a professional psychological assessment?

No. Decodeme is an organizational communication monitoring tool based on behavioral intelligence. It provides signals and evidence that complement — but do not replace — assessments conducted by occupational psychologists or occupational physicians.

What data does Decodeme process for NR-1 purposes?

Decodeme analyzes written work communications (emails, corporate messages) with employee consent (LGPD Art. 11, II, a). Texts are processed in isolated, ephemeral sessions. Only pattern metadata is retained — never raw content without explicit authorization.

How does Worker Notification work in Decodeme?

The platform manages the complete flow: employee notification about psychosocial monitoring, acknowledgment collection (with timestamp and IP), LGPD consent registration, and auditable history of the entire process.

Does Decodeme work for companies of all sizes?

Yes. The platform serves companies from 20 employees to large corporations with multiple departments and branches. The organizational dashboard allows department-level visibility, with pricing adapted to team size.

Start psychosocial monitoring before the final deadline

Implement continuous psychosocial risk detection, generate PGR documentation, and demonstrate NR-1 compliance — without exposing individual employee data.
