1st Talk Compliance: Whistleblower Hotlines, Retaliation & Building a Speak-up Culture w/ Matt Kelly

Published: Nov. 16, 2018, midnight

Host Catherine Short talks with Matt Kelly, CEO of Radical Compliance, about “Whistleblower hotlines, retaliation, and building a speak-up culture.” The two discuss the current state of whistleblower hotline law, specifically anti-retaliation; and how a compliance officer can use a whistleblower hotline more productively to support a stronger speak-up culture across the board. They also talk about the current state of anti-retaliation law, and the implications of the Digital Realty Trust v. Somers ruling from the US Supreme Court; discuss how hotlines fit into the greater scheme of employees speaking up about misconduct; and discuss how compliance officers can use hotlines to drive a speak-up culture generally, beyond merely calling the hotline.
