RALEIGH, N.C., March 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- G4S Compliance & Investigations announces Safe2Say. Safe2Say is a Sarbanes-Oxley compliant employment practices hotline service managed by G4S Compliance & Investigations. The Safe2Say hotline is an extension of G4S' enterprise wide solutions to prevent, deter and detect potential unethical activity within an organization.
"Corporations must be aware of the potential threats and risks that are present in the workplace," stated Michael J. Malone, President G4S Compliance & Investigations. "Fraud, theft, sexual harassment and workplace violence issues affect corporations every day, and many times these lead to significant business losses. Safe2Say helps companies identify these issues and become proactive at solving them. More importantly, it allows for trending and analysis to minimize future occurrences by implementing a best practices solution."
Safe2Say is a confidential anonymous telephone and web-based hotline service which allows corporations to proactively manage serious matters that otherwise can escalate into catastrophic events. Safe2Say supplies a safe, secure, turnkey, confidential communication system that encourages individuals to come forward and alert their organization of potentially damaging situations and wrongdoing.
In today's rapid business environment, it is essential to constantly report, monitor and react quickly to all incidents that could adversely impact a company's brand integrity, employees, resources and bottom line. The United States government constantly updates the laws and regulations surrounding federal compliance programs to ensure proper conduct by providers and eliminate fraud. Only professionals who both understand the new regulations and know how to implement programs can help business entities ensure compliance.
A professionally trained communication specialist asks questions that help the organization gain enough information to investigate successfully. G4S empowers its professionally trained communication specialists to handle calls of all natures. They use robust technology to take accurate call detail giving Safe2Say unmatched value in the marketplace.
After an incident is reported, G4S counsels and provides investigation solutions. An investigation must be conducted sensitively to respect the interests of callers, witnesses and the accused, as well as to limit potential liability. Having investigations conducted by a third party significantly enhances internal and external credibility.
Safe2Say is dedicated to providing unbiased hotline services which makes it easier, faster and more cost effective for corporations to define, understand and analyze their corporate fraud and employee issues. Safe2Say is a complete solution with expert assessment, customized recommendations, robust case management and detailed compliance reporting.
How Safe2Say Works:
The Safe2Say Employee Hotline utilizes a toll free number that employees call to report incidents or unethical behavior in the workplace at NO COST to the employee.
Ensuring proper implementation and on-going promotion of the hotline maximizes the return of the Safe2Say program. Enhancing employee productivity and reducing unethical behavior and associated costs result from strategies such as distribution of posters, wallet cards and brochures among the employee population.
G4S provides all the materials, articles and other information that employers may need to supply to their workforce. G4S will also work with companies in the customization of the literature to emphasize that company's participation in the Safe2Say employee hotline program.
Safe2Say has helped clients collect information and address critical incidents and wrongdoing in the workplace for more than 25 years. Safe2Say provides services such as hotlines, incident reporting, case management and investigations to a wide variety of entities from small business to large multi-national Fortune 500 companies servicing in excess of 4 million employees worldwide.
If you are a publically held company that needs to be in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley or an employer who could benefit from a Safe2Say Employee Hotline program offered by G4S, simply call or email Josh Woolley today to start helping your most valuable resource ... your employees.
