Who is a whistleblower?
Whistleblowers are individuals who report irregularities and abuses within an organisation. They are usually employees who are a key source of information about existing or potential problems.
What obligations do employers have in connection with whistleblower protection?
Private entities will soon be, and public entities are already, required to have internal solutions (whistleblowing systems) for reporting irregularities safely, confidentially or anonymously. Not only must safe whistleblowing channels be established, but also employees must be effectively made aware of how they work. Moreover, whistleblowing must be handled by an appropriate, independent and competent entity within the organisation and in accordance with legal regulations. The whistleblower should receive feedback within set time limits and the employer must take follow-up measures (investigative and remedial) and keep a record of reports.
Whistleblowing tool supporting employers
A whistleblowing system is, however, not only a legal obligation. If structured and promoted correctly, it can have a very positive impact on the quality of reports, and thus the safety of the organisation and management. Such system can also improve organisational culture. The platform ensures data security and confidentiality, but also facilitates the examination of reports.

Labour Law Partner of DZP
“The forthcoming Whistleblowers Protection Act will set a new legal compliance standard for businesses and governmental authorities.”
“The task facing employers due to the expected implementation of the Whistleblower Directive is not just establishing the right procedures and communication channels. It is equally important to prepare the organisation for its compliance with the law being constantly under internal scrutiny.”

“In August 2021, Microsoft repelled the largest DDoS attack in history with a total of 2.4 terabits per second.”
“No company would be able to cope with an attack on this scale. Microsoft technology guarantees us the highest level of application security. That is why we are using security mechanisms, including the encryption contained in the Azure Security Center service.”

Sylwester Silski
Whistleblowing Expert of DZP
“Professional handling of reports is one of the foundations of a strong organisational culture.”
“Implementing effective tools to handle reports is more than just fulfilling another legal obligation. Reliable handling of employee reports helps to build mutual trust between the employer and the staff. On the other hand, inappropriate management of whistleblowing cases can result in a loss of employee trust. Therefore, confidentiality of reports should be the prime directive when implementing any whistleblowing system.”
NOTIFY is created by DZP Compliance experts who...
…together with UNGC Network Poland organised a series of dialogue sessions on “Whistleblowing – good practices for ethical business” culminating in the preparation of a regulatory report.
… share their knowledge on their blog, during numerous webinars, training courses and conferences. They have been instrumental in shaping the public discussion on whistleblowers for years.
