An anonymous reporting channel can be a valuable and trusted way to build trust and surface issues within an organization. Or it can unintentionally create issues – from team members not believing it’s *truly* anonymous, to being surprised that the reports are sent to the organization – yikes! There are four things you need to do to successfully roll out a hotline that builds a culture of trust. Whether you have a hotline that just isn’t being used (as intended at least) or you’re thinking of rolling out your first hotline, but are scared of what might happen, this webinar is for you.

Hear from Roxanne Petraeus, CEO & Co-founder of Ethena, Colin Slade, VP of People at Cloudbeds, and Ashley Herd, Founder of Manager Method & “HR Besties” Podcast Co-Host, to learn how HR can create a true “speak up” culture.

In this webinar, you'll learn about how to:

  • Pick and roll out a tool that works for both anonymous complaints and tracking HR investigations
  • Introduce your organization to this tool, including how to use (and not to use!) the tool
  • Teach managers how to play their key role in building a speak up culture (including keeping them from going rogue!)
  • Effectively communicate after you receive reports into the hotline, to build trust in the process

Duration: 1 hour
