What is whistleblowing?
Whistleblowing is an act of an individual, often an employee, that discloses important information about unethical or illegal activities within an organisation.
The use of external whistleblowing systems has been proven to be the best way to report such activities.
The purpose and importance of a whistleblowing policy
Having a whistleblowing policy in place maintains the reputation for an organisation and promotes ethical behaviour.
A whistleblowing policy also protects whistleblowers from retaliation and ensures that reports will get dealt with seamlessly and effectively.
Employees will know where and who to report any misconduct or suspicions of any illegal activities.
It also provides reassurance for employees that they will be protected.
Therefore, it increases employee to employer trust, which will result in more reports being issued.
Employee confidentiality and anonymity.
A whistleblowing policy will have a clear explanation of how reports will be handled discreetly.
It outlines procedures for reporting anonymously, which will protect the identity of the whistleblower.
Thus, protecting the whistleblower from any form of retaliation.
