About this event

The Honest Bunch Foundation and Transparency International New Zealand invite you to our webinar on speaking up safely. (1 hour)

The building of a trusting work culture can be influenced by allowing everyone, especially the vulnerable, to safely raise concerns and speak up. Our speakers will look at good and bad practice from an integrity and trust perspective and how to meet the demands of our ever changing and social media savvy work audience.

Speakers:

  • Kyle Welch (Kyle is an Assistant Professor at George Washington University in the USA. Investigating the world’s largest database of internal whistleblower reports, Professor Welch has uncovered a counter-intuitive result: firms with more active whistleblower systems (i.e., more internal reports of problems) are synonymous with organizations that are healthier, are less susceptible to material lawsuits, and face fewer fines.
  • Hadyn Smith, CEO, Integrity Line and will look at several case studies that may suggest that a functional complaints system, usually beginning with the informant's details, is not always user friendly for growing a level of informed knowledge on misconduct.
  • Georgia Bates, Senior Associate in the Auckland employment team of MinterEllisonRuddWatts. She is a specialist employment and industrial relations lawyer. Georgia will examine case studies in the legal framework on what happens when employees are unable to speak up or pushed to enter into the personal grievance or Protected Disclosure space

Chair: Debbie Gee, (Kāi Tahu/Kāti Mamoe) currently works as a trainer and consultant while running a small business. Debbie is a Member with Delegated Authority on Whistleblowing for Transparency International NZ. Debbie based her MBA Research Project on the Ministry of Transport fraud case including the poor response to whistleblowing within the organisation’s culture and compliance framework
