Whistleblowing in European companies: Industrial relations for successful implementation of reporting channels (2021)

This Research Report offers reflections on the project ‘Whistleblowing in European companies: Industrial relations for successful implementation of reporting channels’ conducted by Eurocadres and Dr Vigjilenca Abazi, Maastricht University within the period of March 2020 – October 2021, funded by the European Commission.

In light of the apporaching deadline for EU Member States to transpose the EU Whistleblowing Directive, this project focuses on the establishment of adequate internal reporting channels. 

The report present the findings of the project, elaborates on some of the necessary changes in the implementation of the project arising due to COVID-19 challenges and offers reflections on what lays ahead for organisations implementing the EU Whistleblower Directive. The report draws significantly from the analysis provided in the published Guide in June 2021 ‘Speak, Listen, Whistle Up: Guide for the EU Whistleblower Directive Internal Reporting Channels and the Role of Trade Unions’ within the remit of the same project.
