Since the transposition of the EU Directive 2019\/1937 through the French Loi Waserman in 2022, organisations with 50 or more employees are legally required to establish internal reporting channels, protect reporting persons and their facilitators, and respond within defined timeframes. Non-compliance is not a technicality — it is a prosecutable failure with direct personal and corporate consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"desc-text\"\u003eThis course was designed for compliance officers, HR leaders, legal teams, ethics officers, and governance professionals who are responsible for building, operating, or auditing whistleblowing systems. You will learn to design reporting channels that meet legal requirements and actually get used, run investigations that are impartial and procedurally sound, protect reporters from retaliation, and build the organisational culture in which speaking up is a norm rather than a risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"desc-text\"\u003eAcross six structured modules, you will move from legal foundations and protection standards to system design, investigation procedures, psychological safety, and advanced governance practices aligned with ISO 37002. By the end of this course, you will be equipped to build a reporting system your organisation can stand behind — in front of auditors, regulators, and employees alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n \n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy This Training Matters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #FCEBEB; border-left: 3px solid #E24B4A; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; padding: 1rem 1.25rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 500; color: #791f1f; margin-bottom: 4px;\"\u003eSince Loi Waserman, whistleblowing is a compliance obligation — not a voluntary commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #a32d2d; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eOrganisations without functioning internal reporting channels, documented investigation procedures, and anti-retaliation protections are in breach of French law.
