A Whistleblower's Guide to Whistleblower Cases

Whistleblower investigations, whether through a hotline or other method of communication, are one of the most challenging to investigate to a successful conclusion. The anonymous nature does not allow for the assessment of credibility or the ability to provide fulsome information for a procedurally fair response of the alleged misconduct. Further, whistleblower situations will often elicit defensiveness, and high emotion, among senior leaders whose areas of responsibility may be the subject of alleged wrongdoing.
In this session Bob will tap in to his personal lived and learned experiences as a whistleblower and whistleblower investigator, providing guidance on how to identify and avoid errors, pitfalls, biases, and procedurally flawed processes. Bob will then provide a framework and path on how to successfully conduct whistleblower investigations.
