Negative feedback is an opportunity that should be welcomed and valued as a great gift.It is unlikely we can prevent ourselves from experiencing negative emotion when people give us negat

Your Advisory Staff
I've learned important lessons over my 15 year career as a cleaning and restoration business owner and one of the more important lessons is that trying to learn every little detail about every business function will DRIVE YOU CRAZY!

The problems On 14 June 2005 the French Data Protection Authority refused to authorize the use of anonymous whistleblower hotlines. The French Authority's view was that such hotlines are "disproportionate to the objectives sought and the risks of slanderous denunciations and the stigmatization of employees who were the subjects of an ethics alert."

In a similar decision a German labor court ruled that parts of an employee code of conduct inviting employees to report misconduct to a whistleblowers hotline breached German labor law. Early indications from the UK Information Commissioners Office (ICO) are that they would decline to follow the French and German approach. In contrast to the French and German decisions, the ICO's view is that the appropriate use of such helpline by organizations would not, in principle, raise data protection concerns. However, where organizations misuse such anonymous hotlines for inappropriate information gathering purposes there may be data protection implications.

Recommendations Companies that are publicly traded in the United States and also have operations in the European Union must be very careful with the whistleblower provisions of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

First of all, before implementing Sarbanes Oxley hotline reporting services, companies need to ask for permission from the local Data Protection Authority.

Complaints must be processed inside the European Union. Companies need to establish local investigation procedures. The suspected person would be given the opportunity to comment within two days. In the event that the investigation shows that the allegations were unfounded, the data must be deleted within two days of the case closure. If the allegations are determined to be well-founded, then the file would be kept for one to five years after the case was closed (depending on management level).
