Understanding the Whistleblowing Benchmark Report 2025: Turning insight into action for your people and your organisation

Understanding what’s really happening inside your workplace starts with listening to the data — and knowing how to respond to it.

Safecall’s 2025 Whistleblowing Benchmark Report highlights the key trends shaping speak-up culture today, including a sharp rise in reporting, growing anonymity, and increased reports of dishonest behaviour. But interpreting those numbers — and acting on them — is where the real impact begins.

In this on-demand webinar, Safecall is joined by leaders from Adidas, NG Bailey, and Barnardo’s to explore how organisations are using insight to shape policy, improve accessibility, and build trust from the inside out.

Whether you’re reviewing your existing programme or building a speak-up culture from the ground up, this session provides the insight, experience and practical steps to guide your next move.

Key points that we covered:

  • Whistleblowing Trends & Benchmarks: Findings from over 131 countries and all major sectors, including a 16% rise in reporting and sector-specific shifts in employee behaviour.
  • Anonymity and Accessibility: How employee preferences are evolving — and what that means for the way concerns are raised and handled.
  • Sector Spotlights: A closer look at the construction, retail and charity sectors — and what’s working for them in practice.
  • Building a Trust-Based Culture: How consistency, clear communication and fair response processes support long-term culture change.
  • Insights from Leading Organisations: Real-world examples from Adidas, NG Bailey and Barnardo’s on building trust, managing volume and ensuring accessibility.

Key takeaways:

  • Clarity Behind the Numbers: Understand what the latest data really says about speak-up culture, risk, and workplace transparency.
  • Tried-and-Tested Approaches: Learn how other organisations are using their data to improve outcomes, build trust and reduce risk.
  • Expert Insight You Can Act On: From manager training to policy design — discover practical ways to strengthen your programme.

This is essential viewing for HR, legal, risk and compliance professionals who want to benchmark their organisation and take proactive steps to build safer, more transparent workplaces.
