What is whistleblowing?

Whistleblowing is the act of reporting unfair, unethical, or illegal behavior occurring in an organization. Whistleblowing can happen internally (e.g. a person to management reporting that a coworker is stealing.) Or it can be external (an employee reporting acts of bribery in their organization to law enforcement).

What is whistleblower software?

Whistleblowing software is a secure and anonymous channel for employees to report unethical or illegal activities within their organization, without fear of retaliation. The implementation of whistleblower software is an essential step for companies to uphold their ethical standards and protect their employees and brand.

Why is whistleblowing software important?

Whistleblowing software is important for companies for these reasons: 

• Minimizing financial losses and saving costs - whistleblowing software is the cheapest and most effective way to detect theft, corruption, and fraud.
• Protecting company reputation and trust - early detection of all dishonesty, risks, and illegal behavior before it becomes public.
• Building a better and more transparent company culture that helps reduce employee turnover and retention.
• Preventing problems from escalating and causing significant damage to property or health through early resolution of whistleblowing.
• Making it easier to comply with the law on whistleblower protection and the risks associated with it. 

Whistleblowing software can also create a positive environment of honesty, responsibility, and transparency within a company, which can enhance employee satisfaction, customer loyalty, and stakeholder relations. 

Whistleblowing software also has financial benefits for companies, saving money that would have been lost to fraud and through improved employee retention, thus avoiding the costs associated with recruitment and onboarding.

They can then discuss their report further with the individual designated to receive and investigate reports (known as an ‘assignee’), all within the FaceUp whistleblowing platform and anonymously if they wish.
