Recent events have shone a spotlight on whistleblowing, placing employers firmly on notice that their response to a protected disclosure could be subject to intense scrutiny.
Join us at this HR Daily Premium webinar, where Mallesons' senior consultant Brett Feltham will outline employers' obligations under the whistleblower protection framework, explaining: who is an eligible whistleblower; what is reportable conduct; who are eligible recipients; and what protections arise.
Brett will also discuss:
- how whistleblower disclosures can intersect with HR processes;
- HR's exposure when managing personal work-related grievances;
- practical steps to ensure compliance and mitigate risks;
- lessons from important court rulings involving whistleblowers; and
- what potentially lies ahead in this space.
Attending this webinar counts as 1.5 CPD hours.
