Blowing the Whistle | How can a whistleblower hotline be effective?

How can a whistleblower hotline be effective? Explain.

For a whistleblower hotline to be effective trust must exist between employees and the employer. This trust means that the information can be given anonymously and without fear of retaliation, even if the identity of the whistleblower is revealed during the investigation. The organization can make all the promises in the world, but until that first report is completely and thoroughly investigated, the hotline may never ring again.
