Description

Would you feel confident speaking up if you encountered misconduct in your organisation?

Whistleblowing is the act of misconduct or an improper state of affairs within an organisation. Whistleblowing is a crucial aspect of finding and fixing small organisational problems before
they become big ones. Research has also shown that companies that receive and investigate whistleblower reports show a significant and lasting decline in misconduct incidents. But often
employees are reluctant to report misconduct they notice at work because of fear that the organisation or another employee will take adverse action against them for speaking up.

Organisations must build trust with their employees (and other third parties) to encourage them to make reports. This means creating a workplace culture of whistleblowing, and having clear and
dedicated systems in place to ensure whistleblowers are protected and aware of their rights.

This courses uses real-life examples and scenarios to guide individuals on what to do when a reportable situation arises, what to expect from the reporting process and what protection they can expect. An advance module covers how to institute a whistleblowing culture from the top down.
