S1 | Ep 3 - From Compliance to Culture: Rethinking Whistleblowing Management

📅 Tuesday, 28th April,  4PM GMT / 10AM CST
⏱️ 30 minutes sharp
🎙️ Highly conversational, practical insights and takeaways

Whistleblowing is often approached as a compliance exercise policies, channels, and procedures designed to meet regulatory expectations. But beneath the surface, it reveals a much richer story about trust, culture, and how organisations truly respond when concerns are raised.

In this episode, Jan and Wim step back from process to explore what whistleblowing says about organisational behaviour in practice and what it takes to move from simply managing reports to building a culture where speaking up is genuinely supported.

In this conversation, we’ll explore:

• What global SUSA data reveals about how whistleblowing systems actually perform in practice

• Why formal reporting channels can signal broken trust — and how they can also rebuild it

• Why organisations get stuck at “Plan–Do” and fail to reach meaningful improvement

• The hidden tensions integrity professionals face when managing speak-up systems
