Whistleblowing Training for Employers

This course will teach you the importance of whistleblowing in an organisation and educate you on what the process entails. It will enable you to implement a whistleblowing policy and train your staff in the procedures and protocols of whistleblowing.

Whistleblowing means that a worker in a company or organisation can report wrongdoing or dangerous practices utilising a protected disclosure to the management or a third party. As management, you need to buy in to and endorse this process to support your workers and bring transparency and ethical practices into your company.
