How can digital whistleblowing systems be a competitive
advantage in HR management? There is tough competition for
attracting the best talent, and today, the younger generation is
more likely to select an employer whose values match their own.
This is also the case for retaining talent; a company's
employees tend to be more loyal if they feel they are in a
workplace where they know they are safe, where ethics are taken
seriously.
This was clearly confirmed to us when we presented our
whistleblowing service at a major HR event here in Stockholm
recently. The event was arranged by Microsoft
Sweden and attracted hundreds of HR managers. Companies
endeavour to have engaged loyal employees, and there are many ways
that they can achieve that. One thing is for sure – having a
solid ethical compass is key, but this has to be made tangible to
the employees, and it's here that we see digital whistleblowing
systems playing their part.
