We can take a fresh look at your governance and case management tool to identify improvements.
01
A holistic grievance mechanism is essential for addressing a wide range of issues, from code of conduct allegations to grievances raised by employees, supplier employees and members of the local community. Such mechanisms ensure that all concerns—whether related to working conditions, ethical breaches, or community impact—are taken seriously and addressed appropriately.
Effective governance of investigations, and prompt remediation of identified concerns, are critical influences on local speak up culture.
Integrity Bridge can provide the following support:
Review of existing process for the conduct of Code of Conduct investigations
Substantive and consistency assessment of investigation reports
Review/development of performance metrics relating to the conduct of Code investigations
Provision of training for investigators
Alignment of the Code investigation process with other grievance mechanisms (e.g. employee working conditions, community complaints)
Development of metrics and other analytics to identify post - post-investigation retaliation against reporters or others involved in an investigation
Review configuration and use of case management platform
Review of investigation case type and other meta data needed for investigation metrics

While the investigation is important, what matters more is what is done about the findings.
Remediation goes beyond performance management and discipline, and can include improvements to:
Compliance & functional governance
Process & system controls
Training & guidance
Monitoring and audit processes
Integrity Bridge can support the development, review and execution of investigation root cause remediation plans.

Integrity Bridge can support companies that are the subject of government investigation, and their outside counsel, with the review or development of data-driven presentations demonstrating the effectiveness of their ethics & compliance program to prosecutors.
