Grievance and Whistleblowing

• A grievance is a concern or complaint raised by an employee about workplace issues that affect them personally (e.g., unfair treatment, workload, harassment).

• Whistleblowing involves reporting serious wrongdoing that affects the organization or public interest (e.g., fraud, corruption, safety violations).

You may raise a grievance about:

• Unfair treatment or discrimination

• Harassment or bullying

• Pay, benefits, or working conditions

• Workload or job responsibilities

• Breach of company policies

Grievances can be raised by:

• Speaking directly to your line manager

• Submitting a written complaint to HR

• Using the company’s grievance reporting system or email

Whistleblowing applies to serious concerns such as:

• Fraud, theft, or financial misconduct

• Bribery or corruption

• Health, safety, or environmental risks

• Legal or regulatory breaches

• Data protection or cybersecurity violations

You may report concerns through:

• A designated whistleblowing hotline or email

• The compliance or ethics officer

• An independent third-party reporting channel (if available)

Reports can be made anonymously, where allowed by law.
