Whistleblower Tool FAQs
What are the benefits of whistleblowing systems in general?
An internal whistleblowing system is an early warning system for detecting and preventing maladministration, and it serves as the foundation for effective risk management. Informants can provide information within a fully internal system, preventing it from leaking to external sources and so avoiding reputational damage to the firm.
Does this system just produce costs or also results?
If only 10% of infractions are caught and avoided by an anonymous digital whistleblowing mechanism, the corporation will save hundreds of thousands per year. An internal reporting system costs a fraction of this amount annually. Thus, establishing and sustaining a whistleblower system is more than worthwhile.
Why is outsourcing this service better than having an in-house program?
Internal systems do not necessarily provide the same level of confidentiality as external systems. This can be detrimental since an employee may refuse to report an occurrence if they do not believe they can remain anonymous. With an external system, the employee's report is safely stored outside the organization.
What percentage of corporations have whistleblower hotlines?
According to recent data, over 75-80% of organizations, particularly major ones, have whistleblower hotlines or reporting procedures in place. These hotlines enable employees to report unethical behavior or violations of business policy anonymously, and they are part of a larger effort to maintain corporate compliance and integrity. The actual percentage varies depending on industry, firm size, and geographic area.
Can the organization trace the web report that I create from my work computer?
Yes, businesses can trace web reports using IP addresses and network data, but official whistleblower hotlines safeguard anonymity with stringent confidentiality protocols.
Employee Satisfaction Survey FAQs
This information is a resource for anyone interested in implementing a Whistleblower Reporting Tool.
The answers below reflect our experience in conducting surveys over the past 15+ years.
If you have a question that is not answered by our FAQ, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
Why Do We Need an Employee Engagement Survey?
- The motivation of a company’s employees is the one measure that is most indicative of a company’s future success.
- It is no secret that dissatisfied & unmotivated workers are inefficient with their time and produce lower-quality work.
- These feelings of discontent are simply symptoms of larger problems that exist within the physical workplace and culture of an organization.
- Employee Engagement Surveys provide employees with the opportunity to give feedback and share their feelings in a safe and non-confrontational setting.
- Armed with the results, company management will then have the opportunity to evaluate the current state of their company.
- They can then devise an action plan to meet the most pressing needs of the organization.
What Do Employee Engagement Surveys Improve?
- Conducting an Employee Engagement Survey will:
- Open the lines of communication between management and staff
- Produce a happier & more motivated workforce
- Increase employee commitment & retention
- Decrease hiring and training costs
- Improve worker efficiency, product quality & customer satisfaction
- Employee Engagement Surveys help identify the root causes of employee dissatisfaction and allow companies to target those areas.
- Once action plans are in place, companies will benefit from increased productivity, job satisfaction, and loyalty.
Why is Flex Surveys so Flexible?
- Our survey platform was designed to adjust according to the needs of any situation. We can custom tailor our software to accommodate a wide variety of organizational requirements.
- Some common customizations include:
- Importing past surveys (both questions & results)
- Questionnaire alterations
- Reporting customization
- Custom survey deployments (smartphones, tablets & paper)
- Engagement metrics (employee NPS or % engaged)
- Advanced survey features (like skip logic, randomization or piping)
Why Should We Use Flex Surveys and Not a DIY Platform?
- Internal Employee Engagement Surveys generally offer many benefits:
- Increased buy-in from management (more action will be taken with the results)
- Better control over the entire process
- Ability to customize the questionnaire
- However, they also entail some major disadvantages:
- Lack of perceived confidentiality will avert employees from being completely open and honest with their answers
- Internal questionnaires often avoid key issues in fear of raising difficult topics
- Companies lack the experience and resources to fully and accurately report on survey results
- On average, internal surveys take 2x longer to provide feedback to staff
- Our approach was designed to build off the core benefits of internal surveys while minimizing any downsides. to accomplish this, we work with you to design the survey and then we handle all of the details and behind the scenes work to set-up and report on the survey. your management team is then responsible for analyzing the results that we have provided.
- Flex Surveys’ process provides all of the benefits from both internal & external Employee Engagement Surveys.
- We have over 15 years’ experience with Employee Engagement Surveys. Save yourself hours of set-up, design and reporting and let us take care of everything. We will keep you updated throughout and make sure that everything goes smoothly.
We Have Done an Employee Engagement Survey in the Past, Why Should We Do Another?
- Employee Engagement Surveys are not designed to be a 1-time occurrence or an intermittent practice.
- The premise behind the surveys is centered around providing a stable mechanism for open and honest feedback with your staff. This is best done on a yearly basis because it will provide employees with a clear picture of what to expect. It also provides ample time for an organization to review the results and implement any changes.
- Once established, the survey period should not be altered unless there is a significant impediment to the process. This is because project timing can impact the validity of comparisons with previous studies as well as strain the level of trust between management and staff.
What Are the Benefits of a Yearly Employee Engagement Survey?
- Yearly studies provide many benefits, including:
- Increases employee engagement, satisfaction & morale (it’s easier to see if their feedback is being used)
- It allows companies to track changes in engagement & satisfaction over time
- Companies are more likely to identify problem areas before they become serious (also easier to repair)
- Increased motivation for managers/supervisors to act (they will be evaluated on a yearly basis)
- Improved ability to measure the effectiveness of the action plans that are put in place
