Hotline Tips Techniques



A whistleblower hotline is probably the best, the easiest and least expensive means available to improve corporate governance.  Losses, wastes, frauds, and the abuses of authority in a company can all be combated and prevented by having an independent reporting mechanism that uses employees to report wrongdoings…and Truth Verifier Systems, Inc. (TVSI) can help you with that.

An independently-run whistleblower solution by TVSI is extremely inexpensive when compared to the significant money-saving advantages your company can gain.  There is no good reason to limit the means the employees and others can have for reporting concerns. Each person will be encouraged to report concerns in a manner that is less threatening. As the fear of subtle or delayed retaliation can be the difference between someone speaking up or deciding to keep quiet about an important issue. 

TVSI assures the anonymity and confidentiality to those who seek it, as it is essential in motivating your personnel to make that sensitive phone call or email submission.
