Great organisations and their leaders operate with integrity. A visible sign of good corporate leadership is the willingness to establish an integrity framework that provides comfort to staff members, contractors and members of the public that your organisation takes its role seriously in supporting integrity; and detecting, responding to and preventing misconduct and other types of fraud and corruption.
Coupled with this approach is the need for detection systems that assist you to identify irregularities and provide early warnings about possible misconduct. Along with your usual processes such as pre-employment checks and ongoing audit and risk controls, there is a need to continually collect data that will inform detection and prevention of irregularities and corrupt practices.
It takes a great deal of courage for people to pass the information they may have regarding misconduct or inappropriate behaviour to an organisation. While many people want to provide the information, they are reluctant to do so.
It has been well established in research and practice that an important way to enhance your organisation’s culture, reputation and employee well-being is by providing a safe, external, trusted platform for employees to report misconduct or inappropriate behaviour. Furthermore, by doing so employees are more likely to report instances of misconduct.
Safe2Say was developed with the above matters in mind. Safe2Say will enhance your organisation’s culture, reputation and employee well-being by providing a trusted, independent and anonymous Integrity Reporting Whistleblowing Platform (IRP) powered by Crime Stoppers IP.
Safe2Say provides a clear direction to your employees that you take matters of misconduct and integrity seriously. As Safe2Say is a Crime Stoppers not-for-profit initiative, you can be certain that your investment is returned to the community.
