100% Anonymity
To set up an internal reporting channel via HRlab, you first register your respective Compliance Officer. Only this person and, of course, the whistleblowers have access to the incoming cases. To guarantee anonymity, even whistleblowers have access to their case with an encrypted password only.
Easy Monitoring
Once a case is reported, the Compliance Officer can access it and update the status accordingly. This ensures that both parties are aware of the current status of the case at all times. Additionally, they can leave notes directly in the case file to make tracking as easy and transparent as possible, and communicate as needed.
Reporting Misconduct
You can set up three different communication methods through which your employees can report a case. The ticketing system handles all incoming cases directly through the HRlab system. Alternatively, you can also provide a phone number or a separate email address. This gives whistleblowers the option to report their case according to their preference.
