Whistleblower system in your company: No longer a nice-to-have since mid-June 2023

The EU Whistleblower Directive requires companies with more than 50 employees to establish an anonymous whistleblower reporting system. Typical messaging applications, such as email, do not meet the legal requirements.

Why a whistleblower system is now both a requirement and an opportunity

Comply with Legal Requirements Efficiently and in Full Compliance with the Law

Typical messaging applications, such as email, do not meet legal requirements. The anonymous reporting channel from whistleOps therefore allows you to implement the policy easily and cost-effectively.

Avoiding Reputational Damage and Financial Risks

85% of employees rarely or very rarely report misconduct because they are afraid of the consequences (ICF Consulting Services). With an anonymous whistleblower system, misconduct in your company will be detected more quickly.

Strengthening a Culture of Trust Through Secure Reporting Processes

By implementing a whistleblower system, you show your employees that you promote an open and honest work environment. This transparent corporate culture leads to higher employee satisfaction and loyalty, and has a positive impact on your appeal as an employer.

The protection of whistleblowers is inconsistent and fragmented at the national and European levels. As a result, whistleblowers are often reluctant to come forward because they fear retaliation.

Whistleblower protection in the European Union was a patchwork system that could deter individuals from raising concerns (particularly in global roles where it is unclear which law or jurisdiction applies). Enhanced whistleblower protection is an economic benefit. In the EU’s public procurement sector, losses due to a lack of whistleblower protection were estimated to range between 5.8 and 9.6 billion euros. That was in a “normal” year, without a global pandemic or dramatic increases in public spending.

The reports are limited to violations of specific EU laws, including those relating to financial services, food and product standards, public health, public procurement, and consumer protection. Some Member States (e.g., Denmark) go further and extend this to serious misconduct and violations of national law, but other Member States (e.g., Germany) are being criticized for their plans to apply only the minimum requirements.

It covers more than just employees and workers. Its scope extends to freelancers, employees, unpaid volunteers, non-executive directors, shareholders, suppliers, and contractors.

It would be beneficial to establish communication channels (internal and/or external) for receiving written or oral reports. Currently, this requirement applies only to organizations with 50 or more employees in the private sector. However, member states may extend this requirement to organizations with fewer than 50 employees.
