In WhistleB's
recent survey of our customers, some 50% of the responses
stated that building trust was the main benefit of having a secure,
online whistleblowing system in place. This one response confirms a
trend I've noted of late, trust is moving up the organisational
agenda. As trust moves up, the spotlight is once again being shone
on behaviours that deteriorate trust as well as actions and tools
that help in protecting or building trust in organisations,
including whistleblowing.
In this article we reflect on how it is that whistleblowing has
become an accepted tool for combatting some of the greatest threats
to organisational trust. These threats include corruption, fraud,
discrimination, unsafe workplaces and environmental crime... the
very issues that WhistleB helps customers to manage, day in, day
out.
