Whistleblower Protection Act Training

Description
Since the Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) came into effect, companies have been obliged to provide secure channels for reporting misconduct. § 15 (2) HinSchG also requires that the person responsible for the reporting office has expert knowledge.
This training course provides you with compact and in-depth information on how to integrate the legal requirements in a legally compliant manner. We discuss the roles of whistleblowers and companies as well as the necessary steps for processing reports.

You will gain practical experience:

• Which violations fall within the scope of the HinSchG
• How to use internal and external reporting channels in a legally compliant manner
• Which strict confidentiality rules apply to the protection of identity
• How the prohibition of reprisals protects whistleblowers from discrimination

Target group

This e-learning course is aimed at all employees and managers who need a basic understanding of the legal framework of the HinSchG. It is also particularly relevant for compliance officers and human resources departments who support the process within the company.
