The Whistleblowing Guide

Narrado por: Susan Hanfield

The last five years have seen dramatic and fundamental changes in whistleblower procedures for organizations. Prompted by a spate of important public disclosures, organizations are now mandated by law to implement effective arrangements enabling employees to speak up about perceived wrongdoing. Currently few resources exist to help with this.

To help fill the gap, The Whistleblowing Guide examines the opportunities and challenges associated with different types of whistleblowing and speak-up arrangements, making recommendations based on best practices you can trust.

• Identifies the major organizational, structural, and cultural obstacles to speaking up through speak-up arrangements.
• Proposes effective whistleblowing and speak-up arrangements.
• Explains the specific policy and legislation requirements that can promote or impede the effective implementation of speak-up arrangements, and how these can be translated into commercial and public organizations across sectors and cultures.
• Makes a clear distinction between internal and external reporting arrangements

An Excellent Combination of Research &Case Studies

This book makes a fantastic introduction to the speak up (i.e. whistleblowing) literature, surveying the state of the field while also bringing in compelling case studies. This area is only growing in importance, and this book is structured so that researchers, organizational practitioners, directors, and investors can all get up to speed and jump into follow up material. The example of the Iron Ring worn by Canadian engineers as a symbol/reminder of their ethical obligations was especially compelling. Highly recommend
