Effective Whistleblowers’ Protection: A ‘Must’ For Ensuring Your Organization’s Sustainability

ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

Wrongdoing, and in particular that which takes place in the corporate environment, is often committed in secret for a long time, during which time, non-involved employees happen to know what is going on.  

Therefore, both the public and the private sector have a direct and vital interest in encouraging those who know about the wrongdoing (the unlawful/unethical act) to report it.  At the same time, however, they have an obligation to provide complainants with adequate and effective protection.  

EU Directive 2019/1937 on the protection of whistleblowers, which EU Member States should transpose into national law, obliges entities of public and private legal nature to offer adequate and effective protection of whistleblowers. 

However, both the transposition of the Directive and its implementation in the corporate environment raise challenges which need to be managed by the competent national authorities and corporate professionals, respectively.  

Professionals need to have a strong understanding of the concept of whistleblowing, relevant international best/benchmark practices in the public and private sectors, as well as the legal, organisational and technical requirements for the effective protection of whistleblowers in the working environment. 

ΣΚΟΠΟΣ ΣΕΜΙΝΑΡΙΟΥ

Upon completion of the seminar, participants will have attained a comprehensive understanding of the whistleblowing concept and will be able to: 

  • Evaluate how the Directive can be best transposed into national law 
  • Describe the deficiencies of the Directive which could be ameliorated by national law 
  • Identify what elements an adequate and effective whistleblowing programme should have 
  • Explain how a whistleblowing programme should be communicated within the working environment  
  • Provide education and training within the working environment  
  • Promote compliance with the whistleblowing programme within the working environment 
  • Identify the risks connected with whistleblowing 

ΣΕ ΠΟΙΟΥΣ ΑΠΕΥΘΥΝΕΤΑΙ

The seminar will be of particular interest to: 

  • Lawyers 
  • Legal advisors to public and private bodies 
  • Regulatory compliance officers of public and private bodies 
  • Internal control officers of public and private bodies 
  • HR officers of public and private bodies 
  • Middle and top management of public and private bodies 
  • Regulatory/supervisory authority officers 
  • Judicial and prosecutorial officials 
  • Journalists 
  • Those aspiring to build a career in corporate control functions
