The Whistleblowing Act in Romania (currently in the form of a revised bill, again waiting for a final vote in the Parliament) has been hotly debated over and over again during the past year: authorities, consultants, lawyers, employers and anti-fraud specialists have been going through the bill in detail and working out the challenges it will raise, both for public entities and private companies.
The focus of the bill is on granting proper protection for whistleblowers and on future compliance challenges, especially for private companies employing at least 50 employees. However, not much has been said about how the future Whistleblowing Act will shape a company’s relations with its employees in the long run. In other words, the impact of the Whistleblowing Act on employment regulations remains unclear, because (allegedly) more pressing concerns have taken precedence to date. Nevertheless, we consider that focusing on future HR challenges is highly advisable and hope to provide a different perspective on this key matter.
We have analyzed how the workplace will be different and what HR representatives should take into account in light of the new Whistleblowing Act, already considered a key instrument for increasing business transparency and preventing fraud.
