Whistleblowing Training - Why It's Needed And The Advantages Of External Training

Introduction

Whistleblowing training can help improve business compliance with anti-fraud and anti-discrimination legislation, as well as dovetailing into an organisations' Environmental Social Governance (ESG) policy.

It's needed because whistleblowing is often such a unique situation that without training, both whistleblowers and untrained whistleblowing reporting managers, can feel like they're 'working it out as they go along'.

Being outside your comfort zone can be unsettling enough, but there can be real-world consequences... fines... court cases.... stress... loss of reputation, to name just a few... for not following whistleblowing procedures, both for the whistleblower and the organisation.
