One of the most effective methods for reducing fraud within the workplace is the application of an ethics hotline that will allow and encourage employees, customers and others to report corruption and wrongdoing.
An ethics hotline can be a powerful tool and we believe that one should be applied to all businesses of any size from small family run organizations to large multi-national companies.
A successful hotline will constantly strive to reassure employees that they can come forward with reports without fear of retaliation, and most importantly that they have the right to remain anonymous. Both of these commitments are integral to the ongoing success of implementing this type of service into an ethics program.
So how can your company benefit from an ethics hotline?
