How to Build a Speak-Up Culture That Actually Works

Silence is not a sign of success. If your whistleblower hotline is quiet and your managers aren't hearing bad news, you might think your compliance program is working perfectly. In reality, you are likely sitting on a powder keg. When employees see misconduct—fraud, harassment, or safety violations—and choose to say nothing, they are making a rational calculation. They have weighed the risk of speaking up ...

Anonymity in Action: Protecting the Whistleblower Journey

You spend significant resources building a culture of compliance. You train your teams, update your policies, and hang posters in the breakroom. Yet, the most dangerous risks to your organization (fraud, harassment, safety violations) often remain hidden in plain sight. The reason is simple: fear. Your employees are the eyes and ears of your operation. They see what happens when managers aren't looking. But if ...

Annual Ethics Training in 2026: Why It Still Matters and Where It Falls Short

Most organizations have mastered the art of "awareness." You deploy a Code of Conduct course in January, track who clicks "finish," and report 100% completion to the Board. But in a risk landscape that shifts daily - driven by new regulations, supply chain disruptions, and remote work dynamics - awareness is a depreciating asset. A certificate earned ten months ago offers little protection against a ...

What Should Anti-Bribery and Corruption Training Cover?

Hard-to-get Taylor Swift tickets, special access to the hottest event in town, or upgraded hotel suites. Fabulous business perks or problematic bribes? It’s not always easy to tell. One thing for sure? It is illegal to offer, promise, or give a bribe; it’s therefore critical to get straight on clear definitions and practical signals to spot trouble early. That’s why anti-bribery and corruption online training ...

What is a Whistleblower?

“If you see something, say something,” goes the common adage. Enter whistleblowers, who both “see” and “say”. A simple way to answer what is a whistleblower is: an employee-type insider who raises a red flag about serious problems, like a law or regulatory violation, gross mismanagement, a big waste of funds, abuse of authority, or a risk to public health or safety. If you’re still ...

How to Build a Speak-Up Culture with a Whistleblower Hotline That Actually Works

Every organization faces ethical risks — from fraud and corruption to harassment and conflicts of interest. A whistleblower hotline is one of the most effective tools to catch problems early, but here’s the hard truth: a phone number or portal on its own won’t fix your culture. If employees fear retaliation, they won’t use the hotline. And if managers downplay reports, compliance collapses. To turn a hotline ...
