"When The Whistle Blows Part 2: managing Whistleblower Hotlines" is a great introduction on how to manage Whistleblower Hotlines. It provides an understanding on all steps of implementing such a program as well as emphasizes the importance of keeping the callers anonymous.

This was practical information and well presented.
There was a minor technical issue with the module on strengthening the hotline. The video kept stopping at several points.

Well-organized course! I'm suprised at how much I don't know about the process. This would be of great benefit to any company manager.
