26.08.2024 Protection of whistleblowers

Webinar: Whistleblower protection – implementation of the provisions of the new Act


On 25 September 2024, the new regulations that oblige employers to implement solutions to ensure the protection of whistleblowers, come into force.  What actions should be taken to comply with the statutory requirements and to eliminate the risk of sanctions for failing to implement internal procedures? 

View recording of our webinar focusing on the key issues of the Whistleblower Protection Act. We discussed ways of preparing for the upcoming changes. 

Under the new legislation, employers will be required to implement and follow appropriate internal procedures for whistleblowing. The new obligations to which employers will be subject will come into force shortly. The failure to implement adequate procedures not only exposes employers to criminal sanctions, but also to the risk of claims from whistleblowers. 

The webinar is in Polish.
