Our History

In 1983 Ralph Childs, a former FBI special agent, founded The Network by introducing the first 24x7 anonymous reporting system. This system enabled employees to bring unethical, illegal, or irresponsible activities to their employers’ attention without fear of reprisal.

Over the years the company grew steadily. In the early 1980s we expanded our service offerings to include employee communications programs to address workplace issues like theft, sexual harassment and safety.

In the late 1990s, The Network developed the world’s first web-based system for insurance claims intake, NetClaim™, which was declared a “Top Tier Technology” by Risk & Insurance magazine. This award-winning software was the precursor to the Link2 system, which now guides interviews and provides real time quality assurance for all of our call center services.

At The Network, we value every client relationship and take pride in the fact that our very first customer is still a customer today. Our goal is to continue to add value through innovative, technology-based services that exceed our clients’ expectations.
