Shannon Walker - A Holistic Approach to Raising Concerns

Great Women in Compliance

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

A critical topic for any ethics and compliance program is the ability for employees to raise concerns - from the initial speak-up process to the interview to the potential for retaliation: Shannon Walker, the founder, and CEO at WhistleBlower Security, Confidential Ethics Reporting & Case Management Solutions.

Shannon started in communications for large organizations in the US and Canada. She founded WhistleBlower Security with a vision to make the process easier and more comfortable for reporters while protecting organizations. Lisa and Shannon have a wide-ranging conversation about the differences between telephone and online reporters, a provider's responsibility to reporters and how that relates to their responsibilities to an organization and different ideas about how organizations can best "triage" in all parts of the investigation cycle.

Shannon has always been committed to diversity and ESG, and she also talks about how becoming a "B Corp" has been a great learning process and an excellent accomplishment.
