Early Detection, Reducing Exposure to Risk with Report it.
Today's companies face many risks and threats that, if not quickly and properly identified and addressed, could endanger your stakeholders, and affect the organization's value and reputation. Additionally, government agencies and regulations including, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, OSHA, and state and federal environmental agencies require or encourage alternative means of internal communications should the traditional lines fail.
When your employees are exposed to a legal or ethical dilemma, they may feel that they cannot confide via normal channels without fear of retribution. They may turn to outsiders for intervention. This could lead to charges of compliance negative publicity, lawsuits, government investigations, steep fines and even prosecution.
Report it reduces this risk by encouraging and promoting internal communication through safe anonymous channels - online or by telephone hotline. With Report it, perceived problems are reported internally (directly to management), instead of to outsiders for intervention - thus providing the company the first opportunity to identify, address and/or defuse a potential liability through early detection.
Do you feel confident that serious issues can be and will be reported in a timely and accurate manner to the proper levels?
What will happen when the traditional communications lines fail or aren't trusted? To whom can your people go if they can't or won't trust the chain of command?
Will you know of and be able to address issues and problems before they become a crisis? Whom will your people first call and notify - you? The Media? A Government Agency? |
