New LearnFormula course, “Speaking Up at Work,” provides the tools to navigate whistleblower protections, reprisals, and organisational accountability
Whistleblowers play a vital role in identifying misconduct and strengthening governance, but fear of retaliation and ineffective laws and reporting processes often discourage disclosure of wrongdoing, exposing organisations to legal, operational, and reputational risk. Drawing on real-world cases, the course gives legal and compliance professionals a grounding in Canada’s whistleblower protection frameworks and the governance practices that support effective reporting and safeguard against reprisals.
What the Course Offers Participants
• Explains key whistleblower protections under Canadian frameworks
• Identifies risks of reprisals and how to strengthen reporting processes
• Evaluates organisational responsibilities for handling disclosures
• Applies best practices to foster ethical, accountable workplace cultures
The course also covers public and private sector whistleblowing challenges, lessons from major governance failures, leadership’s role in creating safe cultures and responding to disclosures, and emerging legislative reforms.
"Lawyers, judges, and legislators are often the ones deciding whether a whistleblower is protected or punished,” said Pamela Forward, President of Whistleblowing Canada. “This course gives them, and the HR and compliance professionals who design reporting systems, the practical grounding they need to help close the gaps in Canada’s whistleblower protections and prevent reprisals.”
