Benefits

Raiseaconcern will bring you a whistleblowing scheme that works. Having a process that encourages employees to raise concerns about workplace wrongdoing brings many potential benefits to employers and employees and makes sound business sense. These potential benefits include :

  • An opportunity for early rectification of problems;
  • An internal rather than an external process for employees to raise concerns – reducing the risk of leaks to the press or others
  • Avoiding adverse publicity, reputational damage and the financial cost of ongoing wrongdoing
  • Avoiding regulatory intervention
  • Reducing litigation and compensation payouts resulting in lower insurance premiums
  • Reducing the cost and disruption of lengthy investigations
  • Protecting customers, staff , shareholders and the public
  • Creating a positive sense of management support
  • Creating a healthy culture of openness and honesty in the workplace
  • Building staff trust, confidence and loyalty
  • Improving staff morale and reducing staff turnover
  • Increasing efficiency and staff productivity
  • Producing a detailed case management system
  • Deterring wrongdoing, facilitating responsible action and building a culture of doing the right thing
  • Increasing investor confidence by demonstration of good governance and a well run organisation
