Stay anonymous or not?
The whistleblower can decide as early as the reporting stage whether the report should be submitted anonymously or with personal contact data. This provides protection against reprisals and prevents damage to the company's reputation at an early stage. After successfully submitting the report via encrypted communication, the whistleblower receives access to an automatically generated account. Via this account, the processor and reporter can communicate anonymously or subsequently attach information or documents to the report. The anonymity of the whistleblower is thus preserved and the whistleblowers can refrain from using private mail addresses.
Modernize the mailbox & let whistleblower system cooperate
In contrast to static reporting channels, such as a mailbox or by e-mail, the HINTBOX supports you in meeting deadlines that are set for the company. The HINTBOX confirms the receipt of a report automatically and in accordance with the guidelines. Likewise, within 3 months after receipt of a report, processors have the possibility to inform the whistleblower about the current status. For this purpose, the HINTBOX can automatically generate a text that contains the work steps that have already been completed. Conformity with the Whistleblower Directive is thus ensured by the HINTBOX with just a few clicks.
The HINTBOX suggests various categories for which notes can be submitted. Depending on which category was specified when reporting a case, processors receive an organizational guideline for the structured, effective and efficient processing of a case. However, if company-specific changes to these processing steps are necessary, they can be easily changed and adapted via the HINTBOX settings. In addition to customizing the process steps, you can also define your own categories and have incoming cases prioritized automatically via a triage system.
