Editorial Policy
This page sets out how content on WorkIntel Hub is researched, sourced, and corrected. It is written to be checkable. If you find us breaking any of it, tell us at info@workintelhub.com and we will fix the page and say what changed.
Who writes and reviews
Articles are written and edited by Pavan. Every statistic is checked against the named primary source before publication, and every statute is linked to the official text. Pages about law are reviewed by an employment lawyer or HR-compliance professional, once one is appointed, and carry a dated "reviewed by" line when that has happened.
Who does the research and writing
Every page on this site is researched, written and edited by people. Our team reads the statutes, regulations and studies directly, checks every fact, figure and statute reference against the primary source before publication, and the final text is approved by the named editor. Where a figure cannot be verified, we say so on the page rather than publish it anyway.
How we source statistics
Every statistic on this site must trace to a named primary source with a stated sample and a stated date. In practice that means organizations that publish their own research and their own method: Gallup, the Pew Research Center, the American Psychological Association, the World Health Organization, Microsoft, peer-reviewed journals, and government or legislative sources.
We do not cite a figure because another article cited it. Where a number is widely repeated but the trail ends in a dead link or a page with no stated method, we leave the number out rather than pass it along.
A worked example
The most quoted statistics about time theft, including an annual cost to US employers and a fixed number of hours lost per employee per week, appear almost entirely on the blogs of companies that sell time tracking software, citing one another. We could not trace any of them to a study that measured them. So our article on the subject contains none of those figures and explains why. We would rather publish a shorter list of numbers that hold up.
How we verify
Before a figure is published we open the primary source and check the number, the wording, the sample, and the date against what we intend to write. This is not a formality. Doing it caught several widely circulated figures that were wrong, including statistics correctly attributed to an organization but lifted from the wrong year's report, and a piece of government guidance that had been formally withdrawn before we would have cited it as current.
Where a source is genuinely authoritative but its publisher blocks automated access, we say so, give the identifier such as a DOI, and describe the finding as reported rather than implying we read the page ourselves.
How we present data
- We name the organization and the year in the sentence, not only inside a link.
- We state the sample and fielding date when a figure carries real weight.
- We say when a source is correlational, and never describe correlation as cause.
- We do not combine two figures to produce a third that neither source published.
- We state the base. A percentage of remote-capable workers is not a percentage of all workers.
Independence and money
WorkIntel Hub takes no payment for coverage. There are no sponsored posts, no paid placements, no affiliate links, and no arrangement under which a company can influence whether or how it is written about. Nothing on this site has been paid for by a vendor.
If that ever changes, any commercial relationship will be disclosed at the top of the affected page, before the content, in plain language.
Writing about tools
Vendor-neutral does not mean we never name a product. It means a product gets named when naming it helps the reader, and that we accept no payment for doing so. Where we describe a product's features or pricing we check the vendor's own current documentation and date the check, because those details change often and a stale specification is worse than none.
Corrections
If something here is wrong we want it fixed quickly and visibly. Email info@workintelhub.com with the page and what is incorrect.
- Factual errors are corrected as soon as we have verified the correction.
- Substantive corrections carry a dated note on the page saying what changed and why.
- Typographical fixes that do not change meaning are made silently.
- We do not quietly delete a page to make an error disappear.
Review and updates
Articles that depend on data or law are reviewed when the underlying source publishes an update. Where a page carries a year in its title, the title is refreshed rather than the page replaced, so existing links keep working.
What this site is not
Nothing on WorkIntel Hub is legal advice. Employment, privacy, and monitoring law vary by country and by state, and they change. Where we describe a legal requirement we name the specific law and tell you to confirm the position with counsel in your own jurisdiction.
Nothing here is medical advice either. Burnout is a health matter. Our articles state repeatedly that workload data indicates risk patterns and does not diagnose anyone, and that the correct response to a concern is a conversation and a change to the work, never a performance process.
