World Whistleblower Day
World Whistleblower Day has been celebrated annually on June 23 since 2019, initiated by non-governmental organizations. This day aims to raise global awareness about the fight against corruption and acknowledge the vital role of whistleblowers in this process.
After the pandemic and the #MeToo movement, there was an urgent need for reliable systems for reporting workplace violations. The information provided by whistleblowers relates to specific unlawful acts - criminal offenses, threats to health and safety, or environmental harm. It should be passed on to the relevant authorities or employers so that it benefits society. Furthermore, this day serves as a reminder of the importance of dialogue between employers and employees regarding effective reporting mechanisms and policy evaluation in this area. After all, workplace fraud not only causes financial losses but also undermines an organization's reputation.
