NAVEX Global’s Whistleblowing, Reporting & Retaliation course teaches employees why they should report complaints internally, and educates managers on how to properly handle complaints.

Learners explore your organization’s specific reporting procedures, the obligation to speak up and the rule against retaliation.

New laws and recent cases have changed both the breadth and scope of whistleblower protections and retaliation claims. Dodd-Frank’s controversial bounty hunter program threatens internal reporting systems, incenting employees to report directly to the government. The U.S. Supreme Court has been actively expanding retaliation protections, which is already the #1 claim filed with the EEOC. NAVEX Global’s training can help your organization to mitigate these risks and establish powerful legal defenses.
