How to Encourage a Culture of Openness - A Guide For HR Professionals

Introduction

It is beneficial for organisations to have employees raise their concerns.

There might be something going on in the organisation which senior management need to have brought to their attention. It could be that there is a misunderstanding, which can be addressed quickly and effectively.

Despite the protections afforded to employees under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, employees are only likely to feel comfortable to raise concerns if their organisation has first encouraged a culture of openness.

This webinar will examine the protection given in law to employees and will look at how organisations can develop and promote a culture of openness.
