EthicsPoint is a comprehensive and confidential reporting tool to assist management and employees to work together to address fraud, abuse, and misconduct in the workplace, all while cultivating a positive work environment.
Yes. By giving you choices, EthicsPoint helps ensure that employees can file a report anonymously and in the manner most comfortable or convenient to them.
We certainly do. In fact, we need you to report. You know what is going on in your company - both good and bad. You may have initial knowledge of an activity that may be cause for concern. Your reporting can minimize the potential negative impact on the company and its people. Also, offering positive input may help identify issues that can improve corporate culture and performance.
We all have the right to work in a positive environment and with that right comes the responsibility of acting in an ethical manner and letting the appropriate people know if someone is not acting appropriately. By working together, we can maintain a healthy and productive environment. Corporate misconduct can threaten the livelihood of an entire company.
EthicsPoint, our Advice Line vendor, does not generate or maintain any internal connection logs with IP addresses, so no information linking your PC to EthicsPoint is available. With fewer than 12% of EthicsPoint's total client reports generated during business hours, most people prefer to report from the comfort of their home after hours and on the weekend.
File a report. The Advice Line Call Specialist can help you prepare and file your report so it can be properly understood. We'd rather you report a situation that turns out to be harmless than let possible unethical behavior go unchecked because you weren't sure.
When you file a report, you receive a unique user name and are asked to choose a password. You can return to the system again either by Internet or telephone and access the original report to answer questions posed by a company representative and add further information that will help resolve open issues. We strongly suggest that you return to the site in the time specified to answer company questions. You and the company now have entered into an "anonymous dialogue" where situations are not only identified but can be resolved, no matter how complex.
All Advice Line correspondences are held in the same strict confidence as the initial report, continuing under the umbrella of anonymity.
There is a section in the report for identifying yourself, if you wish.
