Whistleblowing.

Whistleblowing is one of the most difficult issues for organisations to deal with well – especially since the stakes are high for all concerned. As a result, many leaders today recognise the importance of structures that enable whistleblowers to come forward, and processes that treat their employees in a balanced and sensitive way. In contrast, companies that fail to listen to or act on reports of non-compliance, public harm, or other ethical violations may lose their reputations and face considerable penalties.

At Sponge, we understand the challenges that companies face when encouraging this attitude. To help employees handle whistleblowing in a way that benefits everyone, we offer a modular learning programme crafted to drive culture change – and fully adaptable to your organisation and sector.
