This course builds off of segment one on whistleblower hotlines. Segment one reviewed the history and regulations important to understand when operating hotlines.

Organizations manage the hotline process in various ways.  There is no single method that can be pointed to as leading practice for all organizations.  Companies must evaluate their own capabilities, processes and culture to determine the best method to manage and handle the hotline.  This includes determining whether the operation of the hotline will be insourced or outsourced.

This segment further evaluates information regarding operation of the hotline, managing of information and investigating hotline calls. 

Learning Objectives
  • Explore Managing hotlines
  • Recognize the concept of Outsourcing vs. Insourcing
  • Identify Operational Procedures
  • Explore strengthening hotlines
  • Explore whistleblower rights
  • Identify Investigation tactics

Good content. Length is right on point. Lynn walks the participants through the overall operation of the hotline, including key elects to consider in hotline setup and operation. Wouldn’t mind some additional content on the process of auditing hotlines in the future (though she does touch on that here). Great training.

"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.
