Enhancements to the whistleblowing platform ahead of commercial launch
A strong whistleblowing platform ensures that employees can report concerns safely and efficiently. With the upcoming commercial launch on February 1st, we’ve made several enhancements to improve the user experience, increase flexibility, and streamline the reporting process.
These updates make it easier for organisations to manage disclosures while ensuring whistleblowers feel supported and confident in using the platform.
Challenges with the previous experience
Providing a seamless and intuitive whistleblowing experience is essential for trust and compliance. However, we identified areas where the platform could be improved to provide more flexibility and clarity. Previously:
- Users were limited in how they could categorise their disclosures, leading to a rigid reporting structure.
- Some disclosure questions lacked clear guidance, causing uncertainty in responses.
To create a smoother reporting journey and ensure reports are categorised effectively, we’ve introduced key updates to the platform.
Our solution: expanded functionality for a better reporting experience
We’ve made two major improvements to the whistleblowing platform:
- Multi-select categories: Users can now assign multiple categories to a single disclosure, making it easier to classify reports accurately without being forced into a single category.
- Tooltips and improved question design: We’ve added helpful tooltips and refined how questions are presented in the disclosure flow, providing more context to guide users through the reporting process.
These changes reduce ambiguity and allow reports to be filed with greater confidence and precision.
How this benefits organizations and employees
- Greater flexibility in reporting: Multi-select categories ensure that whistleblower reports better reflect the complexity of workplace concerns.
- Improved clarity: Tooltips and refined question design make it easier for users to submit accurate and detailed disclosures.
- Better case management: With more accurate categorisation, organisations can assess and address reports more efficiently, ensuring proper follow-up and resolution.
Getting started with the enhanced platform
These improvements are now live and will be part of the full commercial launch on February 1st. Organisations using the platform will immediately benefit from a more intuitive and flexible reporting experience.
We remain committed to creating a whistleblowing solution that prioritises security, transparency, and ease of use. These updates are just the beginning, and we’ll continue to refine the platform to better serve both organisations and whistleblowers.

FAQs
This depends on the industry and type of role you are recruiting for. To determine whether you need reference checks, identity checks, bankruptcy checks, civil background checks, credit checks for employment or any of the other background checks we offer, chat to our team of dedicated account managers.
Many industries have compliance-related employment check requirements. And even if your industry doesn’t, remember that your staff have access to assets and data that must be protected. When you employ a new staff member you need to be certain that they have the best interests of your business at heart. Carrying out comprehensive background checking helps mitigate risk and ensures a safer hiring decision.
Again, this depends on the type of checks you need. Simple identity checks can be carried out in as little as a few hours but a worldwide criminal background check for instance might take several weeks. A simple pre-employment check package takes around a week. Our account managers are specialists and can provide detailed information into which checks you need and how long they will take.
All Veremark checks are carried out online and digitally. This eliminates the need to collect, store and manage paper documents and information making the process faster, more efficient and ensures complete safety of candidate data and documents.
In a competitive marketplace, making the right hiring decisions is key to the success of your company. Employment background checks enables you to understand more about your candidates before making crucial decisions which can have either beneficial or catastrophic effects on your business.
Background checks not only provide useful insights into a candidate’s work history, skills and education, but they can also offer richer detail into someone’s personality and character traits. This gives you a huge advantage when considering who to hire. Background checking also ensures that candidates are legally allowed to carry out certain roles, failed criminal and credit checks could prevent them from working with vulnerable people or in a financial function.
