Developments and Trends in Whistleblowing Webinar Series

Over the last 12 months, our global Labour & Employment team has seen a marked increase in queries from companies about staff blowing the whistle, and with various countries introducing greater legislative protection for whistleblowers this year, combined with increased demands for accountability and greater employee confidence, this trend seems set to continue.

In the first webinar in this short series, our panel of speakers will discuss the whistleblowing landscape in key jurisdictions around the world, including current trends, challenges and action points for global companies.

In the subsequent webinars, we will take a closer look at how the EU Whistleblowing Directive is being implemented in key European jurisdictions.

These webinars are aimed at senior HR professionals, in-house employment counsel and others with responsibility for compliance and risk matters.

Details of the webinar dates are set out below.
