Our take
There is a large movement to make workplaces more equipped for employee comfort and satisfaction. This includes an employees ability to file a complaint or raise a matter of concern without the fear it’ll taint their reputation or work environment no matter the scale of the issue.
Formalize - formerly Whistleblower's - platform has a simple reporting portal in which employees can report anonymously via a written report or a voice-distorting telephone report. Companies can then view reports raised on a case management dashboard, all of which is designed with high privacy and security. The EU has recently released a new whistleblower directive whereby companies with as few as 50 employees have to implement a whistleblower channel in their business. The need for this kind of system is rising as protocols will need to be put in place where they weren’t before. The platform helps companies to implement a compliant solution that is both secure and transparent
Aarhus-based Formalize has acquired an impressive client list, including T-mobile, and enjoyed significant Series A investment in 2024. This is being used to expand its platform into the compliance sector.
