As an employer it is good practice to create an open, transparent and safe working environment where workers feel able to speak up. Although the law does not require employers to have a whistleblowing policy in place, the existence of a whistleblowing policy shows an employer’s commitment to listen to the concerns of workers. By having clear policies and procedures for dealing with whistleblowing, an organisation demonstrates that it welcomes information being brought to the attention of management.
While the full scale of the problem is not known, one thing is clear: these crimes are not victimless. Just because a victim might receive a refund following a financial loss or might not come face-to-face with an offender, it does not make the experience any less distressing. Being tricked by an online fraudster or having your identity stolen can leave victims feeling embarrassed, insecure and vulnerable.
