If your helpline isn't effective, neither is your program.

Think that's a bold statement? Well, consider this: 

• If your routing rules aren't being followed and confidentiality is compromised...
• If callers can't reach someone quickly (or talk to someone in their native language)...
• If your reporting website is clunky or hard to find...

… then major issues can go undetected and un-investigated, causing all kinds of compliance nightmares like expensive fines, reputational damage, and retention and morale issues. And the list goes on. 📃

If this sounds scary, it's because it is. It's everything you've worked so hard to avoid. So the question is: How do you ensure this doesn't happen at your org?

You need to test it!

Not only is this a necessity for any effective program, it's necessary to satisfy DOJ and SOX expectations and requirements in the EU Whistleblower Directive (also known affectionately as EUWBD).
