In this regard, whistleblowers\u2019 intent to disclose can be enhanced through guarantee and response from an organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Confidential and anonymous reportings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the best methods to avoid retaliation against whistleblowers is to keep their identity hidden. Therefore, a guarantee to safeguard a whistleblower\u2019s identity is paramount. There are two distinct methods for safeguarding a whistleblower&#8217;s identity, namely maintaining confidentiality and enabling anonymous reporting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Confidential reporting occurs when whistleblowers provide their identities but those are kept confidential and will not be disclosed to the public or any party without their explicit consents. As for anonymous reporting, the whistleblowers\u2019 identities are not known. They may later opt to disclose their identities in the inquiry after trusting connection has been established. Although anonymous reporting can provide a strong incentive for whistleblowers to come forward, many organizations discourage it as it is deemed to cause obstacles to the investigation. However, it all depends on the third party whistleblowing system solution your organization chooses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Canary ensures the safety of the whistleblowing system<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a third-party whistleblowing solution, Canary WBS provides a combination of various reporting channels that are centralized on website applications.
