RAISON D’ÊTRE
Whistleblowing is the act of drawing the attention of the public or authority figures, to perceived wrongdoing, misconduct, unethical activity within public, private or third-sector organisations. Corruption, fraud, bullying, health and safety violation, cover-ups and discrimination are common activities highlighted by whistleblowers.
A whistleblower is anyone who has and reports insider knowledge of illegal or unethical activities occurring in an organization. Whistleblowers can be employees, suppliers, contractors, clients or any individual who somehow becomes aware of illegal activities taking place in a business either through witnessing the behavior or being told about it.
Allowing employees and other stakeholders to raise concerns about malpractices within an organization without risking their careers will minimize corporate crime, fraud and abuse.
By encouraging whistleblowing, the organisation promotes transparency, effective communication and good corporate governance. it also conveys a strong message that fraud and misconduct will not be tolerated.
A Whistleblower program shows the commitment of an organisation to develop a “dare to speak up” culture that enhances employees sense of belonging.
