Whistle blowing in corporate governance: Survey on the effectiveness of corporate whistleblowing mechanisms
The survey findings indicate three areas of development that corporates can consider in order to increase stakeholder confidence in the whistleblowing mechanisms implemented by the company.
Building a more robust framework around the whistle-blower mechanism to actively address all complaints received
Increasing training programmes to build awareness, and stakeholder trust in existing whistleblowing mechanisms
Communicating to employees the actions taken towards whistle-blower complaints received
Companies have implemented whistleblowing programmes, but how robust are these?
Over 50 percent of our survey respondents comprised custodians of whistleblowing programmes in organisations. This section has exclusively used their responses to derive insights.
