In a bold move towards fostering a culture of integrity and transparency, African Society for Laboratory Medicine (ASLM) has partnered with Deloitte to launch a 24/7 hotline aimed at allowing stakeholders, particularly employees, to report unethical and dishonest behavior anonymously.
The initiative, known as the Deloitte Tip-offs Anonymous hotline, is set to empower individuals to play a role in upholding ethical standards within the organization. This service, independently managed by Deloitte, ensures the confidentiality of those reporting fraudulent or inappropriate conduct.
How it Works:
- An individual can contact the Deloitte Tip-offs Anonymous Hotline through a toll-free telephone number, email, or the dedicated website.
- Trained operators, proficient in English and all 11 official South African languages, respond to calls 24/7, conducting interviews to gather specific information.
- The information collected is then analyzed and forwarded to designated senior officials at ASLM, who will determine the appropriate corrective actions.
- The reporting system guarantees the anonymity of the whistleblower, with no disclosure of identity or gender, unless the individual chooses otherwise.
Encouraging Accountability:
ASLM emphasizes its commitment to healthy business practices and maintaining a work environment grounded in honesty and integrity. The initiative not only aims to create a stable employment environment but also to secure the future success of the organisation.
Global Reach:
The Deloitte Tip-offs Anonymous hotline extends its services beyond South Africa, with a toll-free number catering to other countries as well. The hotline operates in English 24/7 and offers French and Portuguese support during South African business hours.
Taking a Stand:
ASLM encourages its stakeholders to take a stand against unethical practices by reporting any knowledge of such behavior to Deloitte Tip-offs Anonymous. The organisation believes that this proactive approach will contribute to the well-being of everyone involved.
