It is almost six months since WhistleB joined NAVEX Global, bringing together the leading brand for risk and compliance software and services with the leading on-line brand for whistleblowing. WhistleB is now an autonomous system within NAVEX Global. The whistleblowing system is compliant with all local legislation, for example the GDPR, and all customer data is stored in the EU.

During the last half a year, we have spent time getting to know our new colleagues, working through the nuts and bolts of two companies coming together, and further developing our whistleblowing system and service offering. We are now very excited to let you know about some of the progress that has already been achieved.

An even stronger whistleblowing system, service and customer experience

  • Over and above all the new colleagues we now have at NAVEX Global, our WhistleB team has grown. We have bolstered the capacity in our customer centre in Helsinki and have welcomed two NAVEX Global salespeople to serve German-speaking countries and the Italian market.
  • WhistleB has expanded its partnership programme, and concurrently developed its capability to support organisations that work with case handling and investigations.
  • The whistleblowing solution can now be purchased and fully implemented online. It's a thrill for us to know that new customers can be happily up and running with a digital, secure, easy-to-use system within a day or so.
  • WhistleB's co-founders have written a handbook on organisational whistleblowing for business leaders, boards and owners. Insight and recommendations in the handbook are based on experience from supporting hundreds of customers with whistleblowing system implementations worldwide.

"The threat of unethical or even illegal behaviour is very real for all organisations - no matter how well you succeed with implementing guidelines, policies and codes of conduct. Through this book we want to give business leaders a practical guide to selecting, setting up and running a whistleblowing solution," says Gunilla Hadders, co-author and co-founder of WhistleB

The e-book and a hard copy of the book will be available to purchase soon, on Amazon and others.

All this in just six months! One of the reasons that Navex Global and WhistleB joined forces was to create an even more powerful, innovative, modern whistleblowing solution, specifically tailored to the needs of the EU market. While we are the same dedicated and experienced team, enhanced with the strength of many new colleagues, we are already seeing the effects of this perfect business combination. We are delighted to have the most secure, value-for-money and digital whistleblowing system on the market.
