LegalTegrity Webinar: Between Trust and Responsibility: Professional Communication with Whistleblowers
I am Thursday, the 10.04.2025 from 10:00 Bye 11:00 AM.
Anyone who accepts hints takes on responsibility, legally and personally.
But how can you communicate with informants in a way that builds trust, complies with legal requirements, and simultaneously safeguards the company's interests?
In this webinar, from the perspective of an experienced compliance expert and ombudsman, we will show you how to communicate professionally with whistleblowers – with consideration for the Whistleblower Protection Act, but also for what is said or written between the lines. Because good communication enables real clarification and also protects the company.
You will learn, among other things:
- Which legal requirements you must observe when asking whistleblowers for clarification, conducting interviews, and receiving feedback
- Why trust is the basis for further cooperation and how to build it
- How to conduct interviews with whistleblowers in a targeted and empathic manner
- Where the communicative boundaries are to avoid legal recourse
- What typical mistakes are made – and how you can do better
Who is the webinar particularly relevant for?
For reporting officers, compliance officers, HR, legal or audit managers in medium-sized companies who want to not only formally receive reports but also process them professionally. Who want to learn how to communicate legally securely and empathetically, so that whistleblowers continue to cooperate instead of ghosting.
